Fred, el cuidador del zoológico, ama las serpientes, pero su favorita es una serpiente verde muy pequeña llamada Vern. Vern es astuto y constantemente trata de esconderse en el almuerzo de Fred. Cuando Vern se escapa y va suelto por el zoológico, aterriza en la cabeza de un niño, ¡y ahí habrá un problema!
 
Unos ciudadanos exigen que se deshagan de todas las serpientes y el alcalde cierra el zoo hasta que el Ayuntamiento decida qué se va a hacer. ¿Es Vern una amenaza? ¿Son las serpientes un peligro para la sociedad? ¿O un recurso valioso para todos? ¿Quién debería decidir esas cosas?
 
Los Preguntones necesitan todo su talento para ayudar al cuidador del zoológico, pero al final, es el arte de Aaron el que aclara el camino.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A new addition to the bestselling Questioneers chapter book series, starring Aaron Slater, Illustrator!

Zookeeper Fred loves snakes, but his favorite is a tiny green snake named Vern. Vern is sneaky and constantly tries to hide in Fred’s lunch. When Vern gets loose in the zoo and lands atop a boy’s head, it’s trouble!

A few citizens demand that all snakes must go, and the Mayor closes the zoo until the City Council decides what to do. Is Vern a menace? Are the snakes a danger to society, or a valuable resource for everyone? Who gets to decide?

The Questioneers need all their talents to help Zookeeper Fred. But, in the end, it’s Aaron’s art which leads the way.
Andrea Beaty is the author of many beloved children’s books, including the bestselling Questioneers series; Attack of the Fluffy Bunnies; Happy Birthday, Madame Chapeau; and One Girl. She lives just outside Chicago.

David Roberts has illustrated many children’s books, including the bestselling Questioneers series. He lives in London.
