The fourth Iowa Children's Choice Award nominee that I chose to read was Hiss-s-s-s! by Eric A Kimmel.
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Omar wants a pet snake, but his mom is less then thrilled. Read to find out how the story unfolds and how mom and Omar both grow and change through this adventure.
If you are a snake lover this is a must read. Even if you detest snakes I recommend picking up this book! Also if you get a chance check out Eric A. Kimmel's website.
