From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3-- Despite being snakes, Slither and Joe have the usual sibling problem--sharing doesn't come naturally. First Joe bans Slither from his room; then he hogs the beach ball, the rat robots, and the purple sweater. Their mother's advice is for Slither to ignore Joe, and to ``go squeeze something'' to make himself feel better. Slither sneaks into Joe's room and squeezes his toys into unrecognizable shards and blobs. Upon reflection, though, he realizes that his actions haven't made him happier, and he breaks into his piggy bank to replace the damaged goods. Friends again, they plan what to buy, and dissolve into a ``hissy-fit--of giggles.'' The lesson is obvious, but not heavy-handed; the snake-characters provide ample opportunity for humor, and puns abound. Chess's trademark golfball eyes and toothy grins are as effective on snake faces as they are on humans, and the forked tongues add another goofy dimension. Another zany book on sharing is Daniel Pinkwater's Doodle Flute (Macmillan, 1991); try Mr. Floop's Lunch (Orchard, 1990) by Matt Novak for a more altruistic approach. --Lucy Young Clem, Evansville Vanderburgh County Public Library, IN
