(4) K-3 "I have a feeling I'm in the wrong pit." A snake wanders into an orchestra pit and starts exploring, giving readers a front-row introduction to different instruments. This is a slight premise for a story, but Wright's blithe cartoon illustrations provide lighthearted humor, such as when the snake listens, entranced, to the oboe. The snake's dry narration plays it straight.
