    Meet Snake Surprise

    –

    –

    Snake Surprise is based on a true story from our family.

    One ordinary day, my son Clark decided to bring a snake along for a car ride. He carefully put it in a bucket, climbed into the minivan with his three brothers and two friends. What could possibly go wrong?

    Well…let’s just say that bringing a snake into a minivan full of kids made for quite the adventure!

    The story is filled with surprise, laughter, a little chaos, and plenty of sibling personality. It’s a fun reminder that some of the best family stories begin with, “You’re never going to believe what happened…”

    Snake Surprise is a great choice for young readers, animal lovers, reluctant readers, and anyone who enjoys a good story based on a true adventure.

    And, of course, it might make your kids think twice before agreeing to let someone bring a snake in the car!
