Bernstrom, Daniel One day in the Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus
Tree, pictures by Brendan Wenzel.
PICTURE BOOK. Katherine Tegen
(HarperCollins), 2016. $18.
A little boy is playing in the jungle when he gets gobbled
up by a snake, thinking quickly, he entices the snake to eat more and more,
until his stomach is much too full to hold anything!
In the tradition of The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly,
Bernstrom has written a new folktale – I just wished the infectious rhyme
included an actual song, instead of leaving the melody up to the reader. Maybe the author only wanted to create the
rhythm and not a song, but a song would really sell this rollicking rhyme. You can see the youtube video here.
