"If Julian has not already won readers' hearts with his [earlier] exploits,
he will here when he tries to find out his father's secret dream for a birthday
present. Surprised at hearing his father mumble 'two snakes, ' Julian duly
catches and presents them, only to discover that snakes are his father's
recurring nightmare. Cameron's style is elegantly smooth and the characters
come alive through easy dialogue and involving action".-- "Bulletin, Center
for Children's Books.
