School Library Journal Top 10 Graphic Novels of 2018 With hip and fun graphics, just enough 'ick' factor, and plenty of facts, this title offers beginning readers a great deal of information about snails and slugs...What a delight! - School Library Journal STARRED REVIEW Savvy educators will appreciate the book's versatility: It would be the star of an intimate gross-book-themed storytime...or may be used as the inspiration for a pre-K lesson plan on anything from wildlife and nature to gardening to body fluids. Overall, a fun read and a smart selection for any elementary nature shelf. - Kirkus Reviews McCloskey's series continues to deliver an offbeat blend of science, humor, and a dynamic interplay between words and pictures. - Publishers Weekly As slugs with shells, snails perhaps lack charm.

His books are light reads that inspire learning. - Comics Worth Reading There's a quick drawing lesson at the end - great way to end a storytime or science group session! Kevin McCloskey is aces in my book! - Mom Read It Kevin McCloskey introduces us to a whole load of fascinating snail facts that are sure to entertain curious readers, no matter how old they are.- Orbital Comics
