Overview
This colorful first nature picture book, written by Judy Allen and illustrated by Tudor Humphries, gives children aged 4 to 7 an inside look at how they would experience life if they were a snail. Ideal for reading aloud or as a first reader, the detailed, warm illustrations bring this familiar creature to life in a truly memorable way. Children who love snails will learn all about their life cycles and behavior, and the witty, interactive text--beginning with the question ""Are you a snail?""--will encourage readers to explore the similarities and differences between themselves and these fascinating animals. And if you love insects, why not collect all ten titles in the Backyard Books series?

Ruth Buchholz - Children's Literature If you are not slimy and most humans like you, you are not a snail. After reading this delightful book, you might wish you were, even with the slime. This cleverly written nonfiction book introduces readers to the every day, ordinary backyard snail. You will get a snail's view of life, from eating leaves and avoiding foxes, to building your own door for the winter. The science is accurate, well-presented and just right for this age level. Even the illustrations make these sometimes uninvited pests cute and likable. This book is an excellent read-aloud and with the help of an adult, a nice early reader for K-1 students. It would be a wonderful addition to an invertebrate, backyard animals or other animal science curriculum. Part of the Backyard Book series. 2000, Kingfisher Publications/Houghton Mifflin Company,
