Lovely for a preK storytime. Would be perfect paired with a nonfiction on snails and other garden creatures. The book lends itself to some playacting (lets be snails!)

Ryder is an incredible author for children. The language she uses in her nature stories is rich and alive and she taps into children's empathy and imagination by asking them to consider what it is like to be a snail.
But despite the clean and visual style Ryder packs a lot of scientific and natural knowledge into a short book. I am very impressed with her writing and her books-especially because I know what appears effortless is often not. Best for ages 3-10.

This book was given an award for an "Outstanding Science Book for Young Children" by the New York Academy of Sciences. It takes you on a journey of what it's like to be a snail in a garden. Great illustrations - and I love snails (except in my own garden). Thanks to Morgan for sending us this great book!
