Baby Rattlesnake by Te Ata & Adapted by Lynn Moroney is offered by Children's Book Press

Baby Rattlesnake / Viborita de cascabel Baby Rattlesnake gets his rattle before he's ready, but he misuses it and learns a lesson. Told by Te Ata • Adapted by Lynn Moroney • Illustrated by Mira Reisberg




I love the book I have in that it is in both English and Spanish which is not only good for those who speak either language but is also good for those trying to learn the other language. This book is entertaining plus teaches young children including family love and forgiveness. It is full of colorful illustrations that children will love and ends on a comforting and happy note. I would definitely recommend this book for young children ages 6 & up. Available in Spanish (as Viborita de cascabel), in English, and in a new bilingual English/Spanish version. It has 32 pages with Full-color illustrations 9" x 8" (bilingual 9 1/4" x 11 1/4").
