Escargot

Bonjour!

It is moi, Escargot, your favorite French snail.

Today I am going on a trip to the library, where there are so many stories to choose from! Stories about dog superheroes…guinea pig detectives…and flamingo astronauts.

But sadly, none of these books is about a daring snail hero who saves the day. What is that you say? Perhaps this is the book about the snail hero? Ooh-la-la!

Escargot

is a beautiful French snail who wants only two things:

  1. To be your favorite animal.
  2. To get to the delicious salad at the end of the book.

But when he gets to the salad, he discovers that there's a carrot in it. And Escargot hates carrots. But when he finally tries one—with a little help from you!—he discovers that it's not so bad after all!

A charming and interactive picture book ideal for picky eaters and animal lovers alike.
