🇬🇧 Description:
A beautiful 10th birthday edition of this much-loved, timeless classic by Joy Cowley, with stunning illustration by Gavin Bishop. A chapter book for children ages 7 and up.
Snake and Lizard are a lovable, foolish pair. They are always arguing, embarking on unlikely enterprises and telling one another hotly contested tales. But none of this behaviour lessens their affection for one another.
The International Youth Library has also awarded this book with a White Raven, a prize given to 250 notable children’s books published internationally each year.
This is an excellent book to engage children in hilarious tales. This book could be read aloud to children aged 8 and up, or as independent reading for those with a bit more reading experience in English.
Review
The judges of the NZ Post Children’s and Young Adult Book Awards said: “This timeless look at two feisty (and forgiving) best mates utterly beguiled the judges with its assured writing, sharp humour and gentle, unforced observations on the nature of friendship.”
🇨🇱 Descripción:
Una preciosa edición de los 10 años de este famoso clásico de Joy Cowley. Un libro en capítulos para niños de 7 años en adelante. Ya sea para leerle a los niños en voz alta o para lectura personal, dependiendo del nivel de inglés.
Serpiente y lagartija son un par divertido y adorable. Siempre están discutiendo, embarcándose en en misiones poco realistas y desafiándose con sus relatos. Pero nada de eso afecta su amistad.
Review
Descrito como "un relato atemporal de dos peleadores (pero indulgentes) amigos, que encantó a los jueces con su escritura certera, humor agudo y amables observaciones sobre la naturaleza de la amistad" NZ Post Children’s and Young Adult Book Awards.
