Description
Snap is a friendly crocodile, but with his enormous toothy grin, he struggles to make friends. Hoping for better luck, he ventures into the city and finds the perfect meeting spot—the pet shop!
He smiles at each animal he meets, but his eager grin sends them into a panic. Just as he is about to lose hope, Snap accidentally sits on Spike—a plucky echidna who isn’t afraid of sharp teeth.
Together they discover an unexpected friendship. Snap and Spike is a humorous and vividly illustrated story about friendship and respecting differences.

About the Author
Penny O’Loughlin lives in Melbourne, Australia, and is the mother of two vibrant and very busy boys. She studied Architecture and Landscape Architecture at Melbourne University and works as a Landscape Designer. Penny has always had a love of children’s books. When younger, Penny would visit the children’s book section in bookstores, spending countless hours sitting, reading, and imagining. Penny’s desire in her storytelling is to simplify life’s complexities into fable-like tales, to warm hearts and hit chords with both children and adults alike.
