BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
The mighty bitey piranhas are mighty hungry. When mousem and then goat, and finally Bear stop by on their way to a musical party, the piranhas ask them to play a song, hoping that the rickety rope bridge will break, making for a handy meal for the piranha. At least that’s what they hope!
You’d better read this one first, because the surprise ending is not necessarily suitable to every audience. It is a pretty funny look at the circle of life in nature, though. The art lends just the right touch to this comical read.
