What happened to the snake's legs?
Why does the snake have a forked tongue?
Why doesn't the snake have any eyelids?
Why does the snake shed his skin?
Eric Kimmel, winner of the Caldecott and Children's Choice awards - and a National Jewish Book Awards Finalist - has created a truly wonderful, believable answer to all these questions, based on an ancient Midrash.
