From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-A humorous look at an ordinary day in the lives of two reptilian neighbors. Turtle directs traffic on a busy street while Snake works at a pizza parlor. Both animals are skilled at their work but momentary lapses lead to minor accidents: Turtle is splashed by a bicyclist when he looks the other way and Snake ends up covered with dough when he gives an energetic display of his pie-spinning abilities. The simple text is filled with short, repetitive words and sentences that many beginning readers will be able to master quickly. The full-color illustrations, set off by white space and bold, black font, provide visual clues to the story. Another charming duo from the author of Dog and Cat Shake a Leg (1996) and Dog and Cat Make a Splash (1997, both Viking).

From Kirkus Reviews
paper 0-14-130270-4 In this breezy entry in the Easy-to-Read series, Turtle and Snake rise from their different beds and go to work, the former as a crossing guard, the latter in a pizza parlor. Spohn (Dog and Cat Make a Splash, 1997, etc.) sticks to short, sometimes repetitive sentences and phrases, and keeps the art simple and uncluttered. The plots involving the two friends are very basic, building to twin climaxes. After work, the friends unwind over a pizza and walk home. It's a good discussion starter on the theme of work, and children will chuckle over Snake's ``no hands'' pizza technique. (Picture book. 4-6) -- Copyright ©1998, Kirkus Associates, LP.
