Storybook Walk: I (Don’t) Like Snakes

Bring your little explorers to the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary for a fun interactive experience called Storybook Walk. Each month we display pages from a new book for visitors to read as they travel along our accessible ¾ mile Paved Path. This interactive outdoor experience allows families to enjoy reading and learning together in nature.

• Book Title for September: I (Don’t) Like Snakes (Read and Wonder) by Nicola Davies
    They’re slithery and scaly, and they have icky, flicking tongues and creepy, unblinking
    eyes. What’s to like about a snake? You’d be surprised!
• Book Summary: This little girl has a problem. Her family doesn’t have dogs, or cats, or birds—
    they have snakes! And she really, really, really, really doesn’t like snakes. Her family can’t
    understand her dislike, but they can help her understand why snakes do the things they do
    and look the way they look. And maybe once she knows more, she will start to like snakes a
    little . . . or even a lot. Packed with snake trivia, this clever story includes realistic illustrations
    and simple explanations of snake behavior sure to make even slither-phobic readers shed their
    misconceptions about these fascinating reptiles.
