- Maker / Problem-Solving
- Story / Adventure
Aaron Slater and the Sneaky Snake turns Vern's escape at the zoo into a public argument about whether snakes are a menace or a useful part of the community. Aaron and the Questioneers must separate fear from evidence about snake behavior and ecological value before art helps them resolve the crisis.
The science inside
- Animals & Zoology
- Ecosystems
Your child will meet:
- An individual animal's surprising behavior does not establish how an entire species behaves.
- Snakes occupy ecological roles as predators and prey.
- Risk judgments are stronger when they use observed behavior and reliable evidence instead of fear.
- Zoos manage animal enclosures to protect both wildlife and visitors.
Use it this way
Parent effort: Quick discussion
From the New York Times bestselling Questioneers series, a chapter book adventure starring Aaron Slater, Illustrator and friends Zookeeper Fred loves all snakes, but his favorite is a tiny green snake named Vern. Vern is sneaky and constantly tries to hide in Fred's lunch. When Vern gets loose in the zoo and lands atop a boy's head, it's trouble! A few citizens demand that all the snakes must go, and the mayor closes the zoo until the city council decides what to do. Is Vern a menace? Are the snakes a danger to society or a valuable resource for everyone? Who gets to decide? In Aaron Slater and the Sneaky Snake , the Questioneers need all their talents to help Zookeeper Fred, but in the end, it's Aaron's art that leads the way.
