The simply adorable Snuffle is back and in his search for a friend to play with, he comes across something “small and green.” As he watches over this strange thing, he finds a bee to play with and eventually, plenty of butterflies too.
I loved the subtle way in which the author manages to teach children a plant’s life-cycle and the need for sunshine and rain without looking or sounding like a textbook.
I would, truly, love to see Snuffle in an animated television series. Hint! Hint! :-)
Excerpt
Snuffle is wondering what the seedling might grow into when a bee buzzes by.
The bee does not like the seedling.
Loop the loop!
It flies in circles – is it looking for something.
