Little Gems: The Snake Who Came to Stay
Polly has set up a pets’ holiday home for the summer. But with a house full of greedy guinea pigs, pesky parrots and slithering snakes, Mum is getting more fed up by the day! So it’s the last straw when Doris the snake goes missing. Can Polly find Doris before the hungry snake finds the guinea pigs? A fantastically funny short novel by Children’s Laureate Julia Donaldson, vividly illustrated by Hannah Shaw. This clever and witty story is part of the new Little Gems series from Barrington Stoke, designed to please confident readers while holding out a helping hand to those in need of extra support.
Suitable for ages 5-10 with a reading age of 6+.

When I saw this book I wanted to read it straight away.
My favourite part was when the guinea pigs ran away. I liked it when the snake was sleeping as well.
