Book: Verdi  Picture Book

If your child enjoyed "Stellaluna" (and who didn't?), this book is sure to please. Verdi is a bright yellow snake hatchling. When he hatches his mother instructs him and his siblings to grow up to big and green. Verdi doesn't want to do this because all the big green snakes he knows are lazy, boring, and rude. He decides that he simply won't turn green - and this turns out to be quite a challenge. A marvelous tale that is beautifully illustrated. Information is included about snakes. SK
