Om denne e-boken
Snake and Lizard live together in a burrow in the desert. They are such good friends that Lizard decides to display their names above the burrow entrance.
They must decide whose name should appear first. Then Lizard makes an unfortunate spelling mistake—he thinks it's very funny but Snake is not laughing. Snake finds some spelling of her own that will teach Lizard a lesson!
The friends eventually find a way to put the argument behind them in this funny picture book that holds a mirror to our human flaws and reminds us that names and nicknames must be used with care.
