Sharmat, Andrew and Marjorie Weinman Sharmat Nate the Great
and the Missing Birthday Snake, illustrated by Jody Wheeler in the style of
Marc Simont. 64 pgs. CHAPTER BOOK. Delacorte Press, 2017. $12.99. Language: G; Mature
Content: G; Violence: G.
Nate the Great, the young detective, gets an
invitation to a birthday party for Rosamond's cousin, Lizzy. He and his dog,
Sludge, arrive to meet Lizzy's four pet snakes, but one--the biggest one!--is
missing. Despite his fear of snakes, Nate the Great is on the case--looking for
clues, talking to experts, and eventually finding the snake before the birthday
party is ruined.
This is a great way for early elementary kids to start reading
chapter books. The story is fun and the text is not too difficult. I like that
the story will appeal to both boys and girls. Yes, Nate is a boy but there are
girls at the heart of this story and there is clearly no gender being catered
to here. This is a solid choice for this age category.
EL (K-3)--ADVISABLE.
