This delightful little story about the journey of a snake and an ant was written and illustrated by Jorma Rodieck when he was nine years old. Available in three bilingual editions. We at Open Hand hope that this book will encourage more children to write stories and to publish, and that it will stimulate everyone to learn more than one language.

"An exceptional book...full of whimsy, yet full of truth. Has the creative touch of a child, but a command of storytelling that is quite sophisticated." -- Ronnie Karuss, Reading Rainbow

3.0 out of 5 stars
A simple children story...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Little Bitty Snake = Chisana Chisana Hebi (English/Japanese Edition) (Paperback)
I bought the Japanese-English version of this book. The idea was to practice Japanese reading with an easy text. Unfortunately, this is the typical book for the very young so that texts are scarce (and extremely simple) while bold images cover the best part of each page. Fine as a book for small children but not a good choice to practice foreign language reading.

This review is from: The Little Bitty Snake = Chisana Chisana Hebi (English/Japanese Edition) (Paperback)
Inspiring to teach students that they can get published in a big way and really communicate through writing to a large audience. this 9year old author's work is very cute and translated into Japanese--I think it speaks easily to other audiences as welll--a fast read for simple Japanese language use...my daughter loves it, I plan to use it in my Japanese language class.

This review is from: The Little Bitty Snake / Le Tout P'tit Serpent (English/French Edition) (Paperback)
my 5 years old grand daughter reads English & French and loves books over toys but she showed very little interest for the too short story.
