Synopsis
Skipping home is a piece of cake, When you've got your very own skipping-rope snake! What can a little girl do in the jungle? Play snap with a crocodile? Join-the-dots on a leopard's spots? Pin-the-tail on an elephant? Or just pick up a snake and skip all the way home! With its irresistible rhyme and jungly illustrations, this is a joyful, anarchic picture book from the author and illustrator of QUEEN MUNCH AND QUEEN NIBBLE.
