This month's book is a children's classic - The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash

I have a question about the book lenght. This month's book is only 32 pages long - so I expected the short should be this time fine - did I get it wrong? :-)

I can see how having a picture book as this month's inspiration would be confusing. Let's keep the page minimum where it is - 150 pages.
