School Library Journal Review

PreS-K--The creator of the popular Snakes on a Train is back telling another story to readers fond of her snakes. This time, the snakes are going to work on construction vehicles. Equally short and easy-to-read as its predecessor, this title continues with snake sounds of "Hisssssssssh" for the brakes. Listeners can chime in with this repeated refrain throughout. A friendly conclusion wraps up the short tale. Because the hard-hatted snakes are very simple in design in four colors, children may want to try drawing one themselves and personalizing it with a touch of originality. VERDICT Yesssssssssssssh. An excellent addition for vehicle lovers and newly independent readers. Expect to be asked for this one again and again.--Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA
