Summary

More
How much is enough? The biggest snake in the jungle doesn't believe in stopping when he's full. He gobbles up every creature he meets, from little mice to a porcupine to a full-grown elephant.

But all those animals in his belly start to rumble around, causing the python to feel sick, and eventually to cough them all up. Feeling better but hungry, he mistakes the tip of his long, slender tail for a lunchtime treat and ends up eating himself in one gulp. Oops!

With its delightful storyline and colorful collage illustrations, this book offers an outrageously funny lesson in restraint.
