PreS-Gr 3-At the fair, two snakes can't wait to take a ride on the Rattler Roller Coaster. When they slither up to the entrance, Harold falls short of the height requirement. Frank comes to his pal's aid with some inventive disguises, including a trench coat built for two, horned-rim glasses, and a phony mustache, but the pot-bellied pig carnival barker shrewdly sees through their ruses and denies them admittance. Frank also tries to stretch and pull Harold taller, all no avail. Weinberg's digitally enhanced watercolor and pencil cartoon illustrations are full of energy and movement. Readers turn the pages vertically to see how Harold measures up after each kooky scheme. Disappointment isn't all the sneaky snakes swallow, and they find a way to ride the roller coaster of their dreams. VERDICT An irreverent punch line adds surprise and a last belly laugh.-Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada © Copyright 2016.
