What is your favorite animal ? Mine is the french snail. Oh he so cute, so full of adorableness, and personality. He will win your heart and perhaps get you to eat your veggies with a bit more love. The artwork is beautiful, soft and colorful. There might be a lesson along the way about trying foods you've never tried before but know you hate, but I'll not spill that detail.
I will buy this as a gift for small children.

So cute! I think the snail is now my favorite animal ;-)

I love the call and response with this book and how Escargot would be talking with the kids. When I read this for the first time aloud, I read it in my horrible French accent but it was fun.

This book is best read out-loud in a French accent... And I'm fairly sure no one is going to top Amy's story-time reading of it...

Good call-and-response in the story making for a good, fun read-aloud. Perhaps a missed opportunity to discuss the good attributes of snails (not just charming French ones who leave a trail of "shimmery stuff" instead of slime).

I was at an event for work, and read this to a group of school kids. They loved it.

A great book for kids. It shows you how they think about certain situations.

A must read for young children.

This book is... rather annoying.
