Synopsis

A snake is too greedy for his own good in this book and CD package illustrated by children’s book legend Eric Carle and narrated by award-winning actor Stanley Tucci.

In this classic picture book from Richard Buckley and Eric Carle that includes a CD with audio narration by Stanley Tucci, a greedy python eats every creature he comes across in the jungle. From a tiny mouse to an enormous elephant, the eaten animals 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.

This humorous tale about manners, respect, and friendship will delight readers—and listeners!
