Snake loves art class\u2013until his project is a disaster, and he makes a terrible mistake that hurts a friend. How will Snake fix his mistake.<\/em><\/p>\n

For weeks, Snake has looked forward to sculpting the most spectacular clay pot in art class. But when his pot breaks and his teacher confuses Snake\u2019s pot with Turtle\u2019s, Snake takes home Turtle\u2019s masterpiece to show his family and pretends that he made it. Now, Snake will have to craft a way to repair a broken pot and a broken friendship.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This was a fun find and I\u2019m glad I picked it up. I really liked this because it shows that sometimes people can be jealous, and impulsive, and can make bad decisions. It also shows us that things can be repaired.<\/p>\n

The story follows Snake who is in a class at school working hard to make amazing pottery creations. After a mix up Snake makes a bad decision and then has to live with the guilt of their actions.<\/p>\n

It sounds terrible but I\u2019m glad Kurpiel showed how Snake\u2019s actions ruined the friendship between them and Turtle. It\u2019s a good lesson to learn that people can be hurt by your actions, and it\u2019s not always an easy thing to forgive. However, the good thing about pottery is it takes time and with the guidance of the teacher Snake can repair their relationship as well as their damaged pottery.<\/p>\n

The illustrations are cute, I loved Snake\u2019s outfits and the various other classmates. The double page spreads gives a lot of scenery to work with and you get a sense of the whole class as well as the life at home. I like how Kurpiel breaks up the page to go with the repetitive style narration. It is creative without needing to make the story rhyme.<\/p>\n

A simple story but one that has a good lesson in it while also being an enjoyable read.<\/p>\n
