Python

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!
