The greedy python / Buckley, Richard

A greedy python eats to excess, finally eating himself.

After swallowing every creature that a greedy python encounters in the jungle, the animals in the snake's belly befriend one another and kick him from the inside until he spits them out, in a story that explores themes of manners, respect and friendship.

A greedy python swallows ten animals whole, and feeling a bit ill coughs them out, leaving him hungry again.

"The Greedy Python" is quick to gobble up every creature he meets--including to his own great misfortune, himself, when he mistakes the tip of his tail for a lunchtime treat. With drawings by one of the country's most popular illustrators, this story of a python who is quick to eat everything in sight, including the end of his tail on one sad day, is sure to delight and amuse young readers. Full-color illustrations.
