What's Following Us?

Scaredy Snake freaks when he hears a "swish... swoosh" sound in the grass: "Something is following me!" Each time Scaredy warns another jungle friend (including Eddie Elephant, Lou Lion, and Casey Crocodile), he tacks on adjectives beginning with the letter S to describe the mysterious pursuer. When Maggie Mouse asks the terrified herd what's wrong, Scaredy reports: "Something scary, scaly, strange, spooky, scruffy, and sneaky is following us!" Spunky digital graphics, distinguished by speckled texture and a slightly spooky nighttime setting, and a foldout surprise ending pair well with the cumulative, gently hyperbolic story.
