I Need a Snake (Picture Puffins) (Danish Edition)

By Lynne Jonell

Book Overview

Robbie doesn't just want a snake, Robbie needs a snake. But Robbie's mother won't allow a snake in the house. She will let him look at snakes, though, and together they look at snakes in books, snakes at the museum, even snakes at the pet store. And after all that looking, Robbie finds a creative way to get his very own snake-and keep his mother happy.

delightful

I loved this book. This story shares both Robbie's and his mother's feelings with humor, and you sympathize with both of them. Robbie solves his problem using his imagination, something kids really appreciate. The drawings are also darling, bright and colorful. This is one book I didn't mind reading more than once at a sitting.
