Christopher Cheng , Illustrated by Mark Jackson
It’s morning in the bush.
Python stirs and slithers out from her shelter.
She warms her head and smells the air
with her forked tongue.
Python is a beautiful snake,
but also dangerous
– and she is looking for a meal.
Combining informative facts with a lyrical, mesmerizing narrative, and with expressive illustrations, this is a book to captivate anyone fascinated by this iconic creature.
Nature Storybooks. Every wonderful word is true!
