Notable Children's Books of 1940–1959 (ALA) 1959 Fanfare Honor List (The Horn Book) A Reading Rainbow Selection 1958 Children's Spring Book Festival Prize (NY Herald Tribune) Review: Buy this Book, Share it and Enjoy! - A classic. Love this book and so do all the kids who read it, including the little ones who need to have it read to them. Creative, refreshing, exciting and adorable all at the same time. Enjoyed it more than some of the five or six hundred page tomes I've purchased for myself. Who knew something so short could hold so much sweetness. Review: The boa constrictor who could - I came across this book years ago in a bookstore in the foreign language section of children's books. (It was in German and I was studying German.) I have since bought countless copies whenever and wherever I came across them to give to friends' children. I'm now grandmother-aged, but it's still one of my favorite books (in either language). The illustrations are so clever and the story is sweet. Note: I can't recall which language has which, but the drawing of an octopus in one of the books has only 7 tentacles, whereas the drawing in the other book has 8 tentacles. This is a must for children from 3 to 93. If there were 10 stars, I would give it 10. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #227,486 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #395 in Children's Mammal Books (Books) #1,202 in Children's Spine-Chilling Horror #1,446 in Children's Classics | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 207 Reviews | ## Images ![Crictor: A Diverting Picture Book About a Pet Boa Constrictor in a French Village for Kids (Ages 4-8) (Reading Rainbow Books) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZwZPFnLHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy this Book, Share it and Enjoy! *by B***B on February 3, 2026* A classic. Love this book and so do all the kids who read it, including the little ones who need to have it read to them. Creative, refreshing, exciting and adorable all at the same time. Enjoyed it more than some of the five or six hundred page tomes I've purchased for myself. Who knew something so short could hold so much sweetness. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The boa constrictor who could *by F***R on April 22, 2010* I came across this book years ago in a bookstore in the foreign language section of children's books. (It was in German and I was studying German.) I have since bought countless copies whenever and wherever I came across them to give to friends' children. I'm now grandmother-aged, but it's still one of my favorite books (in either language). The illustrations are so clever and the story is sweet. Note: I can't recall which language has which, but the drawing of an octopus in one of the books has only 7 tentacles, whereas the drawing in the other book has 8 tentacles.

She is almost 8 and has loved snakes since before she was 3. They have always been her favorite and even owns a ball python now and plans to be a herpetologist when she grows up. However, most people don't like snakes and finding books where the snake is the "good guy" is super hard. A friend found this at the library and had me read it and we bought it for her for her next birthday and it's just lovely. The illustrations are adorable (something I personally care about) the snake is the good guy (what my daughter cares about) and the book is fun and funny (what my husband and other kids care about). I would definitely recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/7382687-crictor-a-diverting-picture-book-about-a-pet-boa-constrictor](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/7382687-crictor-a-diverting-picture-book-about-a-pet-boa-constrictor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
