Rattlesnake Jam is a hilariously funny
children’s picture book about an old couple who share an irresistible
affection for rattlesnakes. There’s only one problem: While Pa would
rather have the rattlesnakes turned into fritters or pie, old Gran prefers
them turned into jam… disgustingly green, sweetened, gooey rattlesnake
jam!
So no matter how cold the weather is, there goes brave Pa hunting after
the snakes. And as he hunts them, he fantasizes about the various ways
Gran could cook them—hot on a plate, fried, sliced on white rice, hmmm…
But no way will his dreams ever become a reality, for as readers will
learn “…snake cooked for Pa was not in Gran’s plan. She dreamed of them
sweetened and made into jam.” Will Gran ever stop?
Colliers’s colorful, wacky illustrations complement Finke’s humorous rhyme
perfectly. The book has 28 pages in all, and each story page has an
illustration with a short text at the bottom—a two or four line rhyme.
Whimsical and amusing, Rattlesnake Jam is one of those books young
children will beg their parents to read to them again and again. --Mayra Calvani, Midwest Book Review
“Whoever heard of rattlesnake jam? Horrid!
Disgusting! And how perfect for the imaginative child with a sense of
adventure! This rhymed and well-metered tale of a grandma set on
making rattlesnake jam, as if it were on everyone’s breakfast menu,
will have youngsters squealing and squirming with delight. They’ll
follow the hapless Pa into the field in search of the critters, and
back into Gran’s kitchen where she cooks up a rattling brew for folks
near and far.
