This was a really fun concept for a children's fiction series, it had everything that I wanted from this type of story and enjoyed getting through the story. It uses the pet angle perfectly and thought the overall feel worked with the pet element. It left me excited to read more from the Critter Camp Kids and from Kizzi Roberts.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for providing me with access to this ebook. As promised, here is my honest review:

5 full stars! This book lived up to my expectations and more importantly, to my daughter's expectations. The story is the perfect pace for children, includes a lot of educational information without making it read like a textbook, and provides students with relatable situations. Friendship is a huge theme in this book. The illustrations fit perfectly with the text and there was the perfect amount of them included. The chapters were short enough that you could read multiple in a sitting or allow for you to fit one in when you only have a few minutes to spare.

This was an amusing yet informative book featuring a batch of youngsters learning about how to look after various types of animals. I am an animal lover myself and my favourite type of animal are reptiles - hence why I chose this book to read. I loved the illustrations - especially the ones of the corn snake. I thought that this book provided good pointers on snake care (eg about the level of lighting that's optimal for a snake) as well as more physiological facts (eg about the Jacobson's organ.) I think this is a good informative read for youngsters - and adults that love animals too.

What a great little chapter book. It’s an easy read with lots of informative information about animals. Kinsley and her friends are at a camp called Camp Critter. Every day they are assigned a group and given a specific animal. Kinsley is known to know everything about all animals. However, the one she is given, she knows nothing about. It’s a corn snake named Jeffrey. She’s embarrassed to let her friends know she is literally clueless about snakes but is forced to say something when she thinks she has killed the snake. Along comes a boy she doesn’t know and all her friends think he’s a know it all. But Kinsley is forced to ask for his help because he does know about snakes and he helps her willingly figure out what’s wrong with her snake.
I love the dynamics between all the kids. They are positive role models and cheerleaders for all their group. Everything works out great in the end and all the kids are happy
I loved the trivia quiz they have and learned some new things about certain animals. Kids will like this and they can look up the quiz questions themselves to enhance the knowledge given in the book.
The artwork is funny, but it works.
I can see teachers, myself included, using this great book during class time.
Thanks you #netgalley #booksgosocial for the ARC OF #kinsleyandthecornsnake
