Description
When a young girl's family has snakes as pets instead of dogs or cats, they help her overcome her fear of snakes by teaching her about them. When she learns why snakes slither, look slimy, flick their tongues, and stare, she discovers she might like snakes a little, or maybe a lot, after all.
