This is a fun book about a being who has an extra-long tongue. I like how this book coincides with another of the Stone Arch Readers series. In this book, Snorp asks Moopy to teach him how to snowboard. But things don’t go well. The book is fun and kids will love it. Stone Arch Readers are known for being high lows meaning, highly interest, low reading level. While at a level three, this would be quite common with Step Into Reading level threes and a few others. It’s for kids reading beyond sight words. One of the things I really love about Stone Arch is naming characters things that are not sight words that must be sounded out. It’s a great way to tell if kids are reading the pictures or reading the words.

A monster gets badly hospitalized after a snowboarding mishap and his "friend" asks him to go again... this story is a big fat nope from me.
