Snake Alley Band by: Elizabeth Nygaard

This was a nice book about a snake and his snake band. They really loved to be an all snake band but when he found himself without his fellow snakes and hearing noises from all different animals he didn’t think they sounded like a band. He rejected it because it didn’t sound like he was used to. But he was soon to realize that the noises the other animals made helped them sound different than everyone else and that different was good. The moral is that there can be many parts to make something different and unique and that can be a good thing. The illustrations were entertaining and also the noises that the animals make would be fun to sound out for a child. They would also be fun for an adult reading to a child to be able to be interactive with the child and also entertain them. This would be a great book to read to children when teaching about diversity and other issues that would go along with that.
