Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2-The charming Escargot is back for a Valentine's Day adventure. On his way to a "Snailentine's Day" party, the well-dressed and mannerly snail breaks the fourth wall and invites readers to participate through movement and dancing. A moment of gentle conflict arises when the party turns out to be hosted by a vole instead of a snail, but Escargot quickly overcomes his shyness and makes a new friend when the delightful Volerie invites him to dance. The snail's vivacious monologue naturally invites a French-accented read-aloud, and soft, gently textured illustrations add an endearing touch. Though the narrative could easily ride on the sheer cuteness of its protagonist, Slater elevates it by seamlessly incorporating important themes into the lighthearted text. Escargot models kindness, demonstrates how to cope with daunting circumstances, and even introduces healthy relationship standards in a way that feels just right for a young audience: "Your snailentine should be somebody who makes you feel magnifique." VERDICT Blending sweetness with substance, Escargot's third picture book is a surefire hit for Valentine's Day-themed story times.-Allison Tranα(c) Copyright 2011.

"Breaking right through the fourth wall, the stylish snail encourages readers to embrace their snail selves . . . Sweet art means that when Escargot winsomely tells readers, 'You can kiss me if you like,' it’ll be hard for them to pass up the chance . . . Though love and snails rarely go together, it’s easy to be won over by this mighty mollusk." ―Kirkus Reviews

"Doesn’t disappoint . . . The illustrations in soft-pink hues immerse you in shimmering snail magic. It was love at first sight for this magnifique book." ―New York Journal of Books

The illustration is so adorable and eye catching! My 10 month old granddaughter loves all the colors popping off the page, she even tries to turn the page to see what’s coming next! Adorable story and I love books that can grow with baby/toddler/young child. This will be in the family library for a long time!

Book is colorful and has a fun story. Not too wordy so suitable for young children. Has several words one wouldn’t find in a typical American conversation or life so great source to increase vocabulary.
