ReviewsApart from its title, 'My Snake Blake' isn't creepy at all. Blake the snake is a little boy's perfect friend right out of the birthday-present box....The illustrator, Serge Bloch, has taken Randy Siegel's silly, slim text and served it up as a dish straight out of 1960....He draws in the loose, bamboo -pen scribble that thrived in those days. Channeling artists like Saul Steinberg, Robert C. Osborn and Jules Feiffer, he gets the wry, relaxed humor just right. His boy is adorable, as is his snake., "Blake the snake just might be the most spectacular pet of all time."-- Kirkus , starred "…a loving salute to the unconventional pet heroes of an earlier era…"-- Publishers Weekly "Apart from its title, 'My Snake Blake' isn't creepy at all.
