From the publisher

Introverted party animal Snail is back in this delightfully hilarious SHHHelebration of homebodies Snail is an epic explorer … kind of. He loves the quiet things about adventures, like reading maps, hiking along slime trails, and collecting souvenirs. On big vacations, he finds the sights, sounds, and unfamiliar foods–like escargot!–way too overwhelming. In fact, his favorite part of a vacation is when he gets to return to his home SHHHweet home. So, while his friends take a trip to the city, Snail and his buddy Stump decide to have an adventure in their own backyard–a staycation! The pair smell the silence, listen to the SHHH SHHH of the waterfall, and read their guidebooks with their indoor voices. Just when they start to wonder if they’ve run out of things to do, they notice something new: parachute seeds falling from the sky! The seeds have arrived for a vacation, and who better to show them around than Stump and Snail? Snail’s second adventure is just as witty and charming as his first, with laugh-out-loud moments and hidden puns on every page. Snail and Stump’s staycation reveals the unexpected joys of staying home and promises that readers will find wonder around every corner, however close to home they may be.
