Welcome to Snappyville
At the edge of the green woods and across the pond from cliffs of the great mountain is the tiny village of Snappyville.
The inhabitants of this community call themselves the Snappys
because they are all very different but are all created the same way—just like human beings!
Here in Snappyville there are all sorts of plush critters who often have brothers and sisters as well as cousins.
There are Betty and Bobby Bunny who love to eat carrots
