Summary

Bonjour! Escargot is a beautiful French snail who wants only two things: To be your favorite animal. To get to the delicious salad at the end of the book. But when he gets to the salad, he discovers that there’s a carrot in it. And Escargot hates carrots. But when he finally tries one—with a little help from you!—he discovers that it’s not so bad after all! A charming and interactive picture book ideal for picky eaters and animal lovers alike.
