The Splendid Spotted Snake

The Splendid Spotted Snake is a unique interactive book that uses a "Magic Ribbon" format to captivate young readers. As children turn each sturdy page, a cloth ribbon snake physically grows larger, and its polka-dot spots transform into new colors, from red to blue to purple and orange. This engaging format provides a delightful and hands-on way for preschoolers and early elementary children to learn and reinforce color identification while also subtly introducing the concept of growth and change. The book promises a "gratifying surprise ending," making it a true page-turner for both kids and parents.

It’s a marvel! Every time you turn the page the little snake grows bigger. And it’s a book that teaches colors: with every page his spots change color. Amazing! But how does it work??? Using a unique Magic Ribbon format invented by the authors, The Splendid Spotted Snake follows the adventures of a little spotted snake made out of sturdy, polka-dotted cloth ribbon. When Yellow Snake was born, he had bright red spots. But then he grew . . . His new spots were blue. Not only does the little snake double in size, his spots also change color! Red to blue to purple to orange and more, it’s an enchanting lesson in learning colors. And for little kids and parents alike, a true page-turner—because with every turn of the page the little snake grows and changes. And look for it: a wonderful, gratifying surprise ending.
