8	!!This book provides examples of:
9	* AnAesop:
10	** Change isn't necessarily a bad thing.
11	** Also, your appearance isn’t what truly defines who you are. Verdi becomes big and green and learns to take things easy like the other green snakes, but in the end, he discovers that he’s also still the same active snake he was before turning green.
12	* AnimalTalk: It's a story about a snake, what did you expect?
13	* {{Badbutt}}: Verdi is practically a daredevil in snake form.
14	* ChameleonCamouflage: Mentioned.
15	--> "Grow up big and green-- as green as the trees' leaves."
16	* CoolOldGuy: [[spoiler:Verdi]] becomes this towards the end.
17	* {{Gasshole}}: Umbles, possibly.
18	* GrowingUpSucks: Verdi feels this way initially, but learns that being big and green isn’t all bad, and that he’s still a younger snake at heart.
19	* MeaningfulName: "Verdi" means green. You don't want to know what Umbles means, though.
20	* PintSizedPowerhouse: [[spoiler:Verdi]] fought off a large catfish that tried to make a meal out of him. Although he was real lucky.
21	* TooDumbToLive:
22	--> "In his joy, Verdi forgot he would fall back to earth."
23	* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Aggie, Umbles, and Ribbon, it seems.
