Conrad Storad: Animated Reading Rattlesnake Rules

Arizona’s national-award-winning children’s author Conrad Storad will deliver a delightful animated reading of his book Rattlesnake Rules. “Animals learn rules by living; They have no books or schools; Please listen to this story; For even rattlesnakes have rules!” Conrad weaves a fascinating science and nature story about getting along from a rattlesnake’s perspective. Learn about this Arizona native and other local creatures of the desert on which Conrad based his book’s characters. Conrad says that nonfiction stories should be fun. That’s exactly what he tries to do with each and every book that he writes for young readers. Conrad is the author or editor of more than 50 science and nature books for children and young adults and his books have earned him numerous state and national awards.
