The illustrations are bright and colorful and they breathe life into the story and characters. The author does a good job by giving the snake an identity and personality. It's a good storybook for bedtime story-telling and it is also helpful to teachers and students when talking about rattlesnakes. The book can also be used for read aloud sessions in classrooms and school libraries. Children learn a lot from Rafie's escapades and it also has a subtle message of obeying your parents and elders. It’s a book worth having in one’s collection, not only for the message it conveys, but also for the information and facts it provides about rattlesnakes.
