Produktbeschreibung

The zany story begins when a ragtag group of jungle friends voices discontent with their individual appearances. Following much complaining, they hatch a preposterous plan to trade their skins with one another. The plan is doomed and the goofy friends experience a variety of hilarious humiliations: Giraffe lays an egg, Leopard sounds like a goose, Flamingo gets tangled in a tree and Elephant is stung by bees. Orangutan, dressed in Leopard's spots observes the sticky wicket evolve and wisely suggests that they should just be themselves. Fun and fanciful illustrations reinforce the story's message of the importance of individuality, gratitude, and self-esteem. A delightful read for all ages, but especially appropriate for ages 4-10. Lexile score 640

Autorenporträt

Courtney believes that a fanciful story transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary moments. Her cherished memories of childhood include listening to the imaginative retelling of classical yarns and fairytales by her father. Courtney continued this delightful tradition while raising her daughter. She currently resides in Atlanta or wherever her husband, Jerry unpacks his portmanteau. When she isn't spinning fables for her gregarious granddaughter, she probably has a camera or a paintbrush in her hands. You can learn more at: www.courtneycrane.co
