The snake in the grass

Slangen i gresset

Genre:
Category: Picture Book
Year: 2007
Pages: 40

A little bunny comes hopping along. He’s happy because the big, wide world is so lovely! Full of sun and carrots and juicy leaves. But a green snake is lying in wait in the grass. Is it a cobra? Or a nasty rattlesnake? The snake is good at spitting water, and brilliant at lying.

A lovely, riotous story about discovering the world, both the one inside us and the one outside.
