Hi everybody,

It’s me, GIGGLES. Wow! I never thought that I’d actually like a snake-----until I met Pennington. After reading his story, though, I think Pennington is really cool. Pennington Python is a snake who comes from a family who makes their living by dropping out of trees and landing on jungle critters. When a python lands on a critter, the snake wraps around the critter and starts squeezing. When the jungle animal has had enough of the squeezing, he taps his hand on the ground to “give up.” The snake then lets go, but the jungle animal has to buy dinner for the snake. Pennington’s family is very good at dropping on jungle critters and getting free meals, but not Pennington. In fact, Pennington isn’t very good at dropping on animals at all. Because of that, he is hungry all of the time. Because he’s hungry all of the time, the jungle animals always know when Pennington is hiding in a tree, ready to drop on them. They can hear his empty tummy growling. Does Pennington ever get to eat? Well, something happens to Pennington that seems to be very bad for him, but it actually turns out to be really, really good for the lonely little python. Sometimes things just are not what they seem to be. Excuse me for a moment. “What? Oh,---- all right.” All three of the GIGGLING GUYS just told me that I can’t give away the story. I guess you need to buy the book to find out if Pennington ever gets to eat, and also how he makes every critter in the jungle his good buddy. It’s a great book, kids. You will love it! Well, all this talk about food has made me hungry. I think I’ll go to a baseball game and get a hot dog---hint, hint.

See you soon my friends,
