The Adventures of Ellie and Edmond 
I saw a Nature show about the Black Mamba. They are fascinating snakes… and very dangerous because they come into people’s houses.
BTW, I want to thank you SO much for the book! Ya know the old saying that when the student is ready, the teacher appears? I am ready for this book. 🙂
We are so happy you like the book! YAY!!!! We hope you enjoy it!
Yes, black mambas are not to be messed with- too bad they don’t understand- houses are not for you!
