Synopsis:

Snake and Lizard find out there is more to friendship than deciding whether to eat raw eggs or bugs for lunch. And when “LIZARD AND SNAKE–HELPER AND HELPER” go into business, they learn even more about friendship.

Caroline and I just finished reading this book tonight. We took turns reading to each other and we both really enjoyed it. It’s a short bookk at 62 pages and a relatively easy read for a nine year old.

The relationship between snake and lizard is very entertaining. Our favorite chapter was “Money.” In this chapter, Snake finds a dime in the dessert. Shortly after, Snake and Lizard decide to go into business together. They decide to set up a cactus juice stand and a corn cake stand. When no one comes to buy their goodies, they decide to buy from each other using the dime. Snake uses the dime to buy some cactus juice from Lizard. Not long after this, Lizard decides he’s hungry and uses the dime to buy some corn cakes from snake. The pair continue to “buy” from each other until all of their juice and cakes are gone. In the end, the only money they have to show for their work is the same dime they started with. Very funny!

We really enjoyed the book and would love to pass it along. If you’d like a chance to win our copy, leave a comment and I’ll draw a winner on January 30.
