What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

In this standalone sequel to Escargot, written by award-winning author Dashka Slater, we follow a funny and charming French snail through a library to find the book of his dreams. 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 là là!

What Questions Should I Ask My Child

  • Escargot bemoans the fact that books always joke about snails being slow and shy. What other animal stereotypes can you think of? Can you write a story (like Escargot does!) that challenge them?
  • Did you know that the French eat snails before reading this book? With the help of an adult, learn about other things that other cultures eat that you perhaps do not.
