365 books, please is a year-long project by yours truly, Anna L. I am a pre-service teacher (a.k.a. grad student), aspiring to build my classroom library by December 31st, 2011. Each day, I'll contribute a work to the collection. You'll find short and sweet posts about pieces such as picture books, instructional texts, juvenile fiction, comics, classics, and more! Cultivating future generations of avid readers is the goal. Your support is greatly appreciated, and recommendations are welcome.

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...
