How do you make a cheery children's story about a rattlesnake?

You get a famed herpetologist like Kate Jackson (NOT the actress) to describe a year in the life of the rattlesnake and include herself as a character in the book.
You pick a scenic location like the Sonoran desert, and you make sure you include other animals native to the region.
You include a postscript with a short description of the animals and plants featured in the story.
You get a talented illustrator like Natalie Rowe to depict the scene.
You translate the story so that the pages alternate between English and Spanish.
Then, you sit back while readers get absorbed into the tale.

RATING: 5 stars.
