Gotta love a book whose moral is: don't go to python's parties.

Python is hungry and convinces all the hiding animals to come to his party where he tricks them into his mouth...until elephant happens by!
Reminds me of African Folk Tales, sly fox stories, or Anasi the Spider stories.

This book was great fun to read with the kids. The illustrations are wonderful and the moral is a good one: If you don't trust someone don't go to their party.
Especially if they are a python!

I can't get over Brian Wildsmith's illustrations, and you've got to love a jungle talent show with gullible animals and a tricky python.
