Who's Got Game?: Poppy or the Snake?

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Pascal Lemaitre. Nate tells his grandfather, Poppy, that he has a hard time concentrating in school. Poppy then relates, in an overlong cartoon-panel narrative, a tale about saving a snake's life, only to have the snake turn on him. Loosely based on Aesop, Poppy's tale about the virtue of paying attention seems only vaguely relevant to Nate's school dilemma, but the snappy prose and humorous color art are engaging.
