On a little colony of asteroids, a Spacesnake fires up its rockets to scare the daylights out of the Asterians. Thinking the coast is clear, the Spacesnake shows its true colors by shedding its armor and sampling the delectable goodies from the Asterbake. When his plot against the Asterians is foiled, he broods alone in space until a small Asterian arrives for a friendly visit. Duncan Welter's imaginative pen-and-ink artwork and playful text make this a fun romp through space for young readers.
