內容簡介: |
In this humorous tale about manners, respect, and friendship, a
greedy python eats every creature he comes across in the jungle.
From a tiny mouse to an enormous elephant, the eaten animals
eventually befriend one another in the belly of the snake where
they team up and kick the inside of the python until he spits them
out. Rather than learning his lesson, the python sticks to his
greedy ways. When he spots his own tail and mistakes it for food,
he swallows himself and...disappears!
Last published as a board book in 1998, this classic story
whimsically illustrated by Eric Carle returns with refreshed colors
and layout, and a fresh new cover design. Children and adults alike
will enjoy this hilarious tale of a snake too greedy for his own
good!
