<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A version of Aesop's fables finds that kind hearted Poppy is willing to help snake after he hurts him, but because he is aware and careful he is able to protect himself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A hip, sly, exuberant retelling of Aesop's <i>Man and the Serpent</i> fable, for children of all ages--written by Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison and her son Slade Morrison, and ingeniously illustrated by Pascal Lemaitre.</b> <p/>In this clever riff on Aesop, Poppy feels guilty when he accidentally drives over Snake, and he decides to risk being bitten in order to free the sassy reptile. But snake wants more. This is a sly tale about who gets the last laugh. <p/>We, the creators of the Who's Got Game? series were inspired by the wonder of Aesop's Fables--their vitality, their endless demand for more interpretations. In our versions the original stories are opened up and their moralistic endings reimagined: the victim might not lose; the timid gets a chance to become strong; the fool can gain insight; the powerful may lose their grip. Anything can happen!<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Toni Morrison (1931-2019) was a Nobel Prize-winning American author, editor, and professor.
