Lake of the Big Snake: An African Rain Forest Adventure

32 pp. | Boyds | September, 1998 | Trade ISBN 1-56397-096-1 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Claudia Shepard. Despite their mother's directives not to leave the village, Ade and Tayo cannot resist the lure of a nearby lake and its berry plants, but they soon find themselves cornered by a big water snake. Working together, the boys successfully outwit the snake, but not their mothers. This suspenseful short adventure, set in the Nigerian rainforest, is illustrated with boldly hued watercolors.
