This is a fun story with an interesting twist: this book can be read from the front or the back! Decide which version of the story you want to hear - Vernon’s or The Snake’s- and then enjoy an entertaining tale brought to life by Eleanor’s wild and wacky illustrations. When you’ve heard one side of the story, just flip it over for the other perspective!
Vernon and the Snake are forced to face their fear of each other when they unexpectedly meet one day. There is only one backyard; will one of them be finding a new place to hang out? Or will Vernon and the Snake learn to live with each other?
This is a great book for reminding kids (and grownups too) that there is more than one side to every story!
