The Snake Who Loved TV — Veda Boyd Jones

In this chapter book for young readers, Jake, a 3-foot black snake, is accidentally trapped inside Ken Baker's house and tries for a couple weeks to get out. Several times he narrowly avoids detection by Ken's family. Jake likes chocolate (licked from a candy bar wrapper), watches Wheel of Fortune (by accident learned how to turn on the flat screen TV), but is homesick and yearns to be back in the woods.
