The Skipping-Rope Snake

Carol Ann Duffy

Lydia Monks

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”.
