Overview

How do slugs see when they don’t have eyes? Why do they leave behind that weird, gloopy trail? And can a slug really grow a whole new head? (Spoiler: yes. And it’s as creepy as it sounds.) This Is What A Slug Does is the first book in a brilliantly funny, fact-packed nonfiction series that takes a closer look at the strange, slimy… and often underwhelming lives of animals. Full of digging, chomping, sliming and general oddness. Because that is what animals do.

A surprisingly—and satisfyingly—dramatic day in the life of a slug. * Kirkus *

A surprisingly—and satisfyingly—dramatic day in the life of a slug. * Kirkus * In this eye-popping, science-led series starter, May and Bartels spotlight slugs’ spectacular qualities. Wry third-person narration follows a specimen dubbed Simon, and the memorable account closes with “more odd slug facts.” Endearingly accessorizing Simon with a blue bowler, naive-style, shape-based ink and gouache renderings emphasize mucus trails amid flora and fauna. Slugs shine in this slick assessment. * Publishers Weekly *
