The Greedy Python



Talk about greedy! Eric Carle's imaginative illustrations tell it all. Tracking the gluttonous python's insatiable appetite is a great way to engage readers in making predictions and using context clues. So far, all of my learners have predicted the cannibalistic twist at the end. They can't wait to turn the page though, and see the scene unfold for themselves! 
p.s. 
I accidentally typed "the hungry python" into Google images. And nearly lost my lunch. Fascinating creatures, those pythons...
