dyk thanks for reading Katy!!!

dyk I am glad you think it's good -- I think it's good too and Sean said it was great --- but he thinks everything I do is great -- he's a bit biased haha

dyk I will "tigthen up" some of the phrases to make them easier to read aloud since books of this reading level are usually read aloud.

dyk I may change or add a gesture or facial expression of the friend snakes and I think I successfully had Pinkabi turn the corner from nervous to a little bit more of nervous excitment as she learned more about the task ahead.

dyk I am going to illustrate it myself because no images I can find are what I want

dyk I want it to be VERY simple pages -- with the same basic pond side/grassy/flower scene and then the snakes are the highlight
