<p><strong>A fishing story like no other! </strong></p><p><strong>Alphonso the alligator snapping turtle can't wait for breakfast. But what if his breakfast is too likable and friendly to eat? A Mouthful of Minnows is a humorous picture book about patience, generosity, friendship, and empathy (as well as the awesome mysteries of nature!) that will lure in fans of Ryan T. Higgins's <em>We Don't Eat Our Classmates</em> and Peter Brown's <em>You Will Be My Friend!</em></strong></p><p>At the bottom of the pond, Alphonso the snapping turtle opens his mouth wide, wiggles his worm-like tongue, and waits patiently for breakfast. He barely notices a measly minnow, but he's thrilled when the entire school shows up. Alphonso's perseverance has paid off! But when a whole family of minnows arrives to celebrate together, Alphonso's true character emerges, and he has second thoughts about the breakfast he's been waiting for. </p><p>Acclaimed author-artist John Hare's artwork is textured, playful, educational, and energetic, bringing the depths of the underwater setting to life. <em>A Mouthful of Minnows</em> is a surprising and heartwarming picture book that is a great choice for story time and bedtime.</p><p><em>Includes information about alligator snapping turtles. </em></p><br/><br><br><b>Author:</b> John Hare<br><b>Publisher:</b> Greenwillow Books<br><b>Published:</b> 05/10/2022<br><b>Pages:</b> 40<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.94lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.81h x 9.80
