羊驼Alpaca以制作和销售沙锤为业。狂欢节就要到了，生意应该会很红火，可是没人买她的沙锤。后来，她发现小响尾蛇也有问题--他的尾巴不会响。他们能互相帮助吗？这是一个有趣又押韵的故事，专门为培养孩子的音位意识而写，并配有David Semple创作的插图。这本书既适合朗读，也适合开始自己阅读的孩子。

Alpaca makes and sells maracas, and, with the Carnival coming, business should be booming - but no one is buying. Then she discovers Baby Rattlesnake has a problem too - his tail just won't rattle. Can they help each other? A fun rhyming story, specially written to develop phonemic awareness, with delightful illustrations by David Semple. This book is ideal both for reading aloud and for children who are beginning to read for themselves.
