Synopsis
What's green, and slithery, and smooth, and ...smart? My snake Blake, that's who! When my dad brought him home, he curved and twisted his body and spelled out "hello."
And when my mom was worried he might bite, his response was "relax."
This hilarious story about the friendship between a boy and his rather exceptional pet is brought to life by the simple yet delightful drawings of award-winning artist Serge Bloch.

Review
“Blake the snake just might be the most spectacular pet of all time.” ―Kirkus, starred
“...a loving salute to the unconventional pet heroes of an earlier era...” ―Publishers Weekly
“Apart from its title, ‘My Snake Blake' isn't creepy at all. Blake the snake is a little boy's perfect friend right out of the birthday-present box....The illustrator, Serge Bloch, has taken Randy Siegel's silly, slim text and served it up as a dish straight out of 1960....He draws in the loose, bamboo –pen scribble that thrived in those days. Channeling artists like Saul Steinberg, Robert C. Osborn and Jules Feiffer, he gets the wry, relaxed humor just right. His boy is adorable, as is his snake.” ―The New York Times
“Blake is a very lovely shade of green, but his best virtue is that he can write! He uses his body to form words which comes in very handy for things like communication and homework help. Just be careful; children get wonderful ideas from books and yours just might ask for a pet snake.” ―Kiwi Magazine
“Engaging.” ―BCCB
“...charming...” ―Booklist
“Serge Bloch's marvelously economical drawings sustain a feeling of high good humor throughout this appropriately long-and-narrow picture book for 3- to 8-year-olds.” ―The Wall Street Journal
