Reviews

“Working hard in art class, Snake[‘s] . . . finished product is less than amazing . . . But Mr. Owl, the art teacher, has accidentally attributed Snake’s pot to his friend Turtle and vice versa. Sneaky Snake appropriates Turtle’s superior creation—and the accolades the work earns from Snake’s teacher, parents, and classmates. . . . Snake eventually learns a valuable lesson in friendship and honesty. . . . A relatable lesson in how to make amends after a misstep.”  — Kirkus Reviews“A thought-provoking picture book . . . Snake's eventual deception arises from his interest in the latest project in Mr. Owl’s art class, the creation of clay pots. . . . The power of the story comes from showing how destructive lies and deceit can be.” — Booklist
