Python's Party
(Oxford University Press)

5-8 Infant/Junior
You sup with the devil at your peril and Brian Wildsmith's brilliant animal fable illustrates this perfectly. Only through the chance appearance of the elephant are the foolish animal guests rescued from being Python's party tea! A Wildsmith revival is long overdue and the stunning quality of this work hasn't been in any way diminished in this edition. Oxford are to be congratulated!
