Early readers will enjoy using this book to learn about snails. Some facts could stand to be presented more clearly (a turtle is 300x faster than a snail, but how fast does a snail move in the first place?). Cute illustrations.

Probably 3.5 stars.
This is a fun informative toon book that introduces readers to snails. It provides detail about their biology, their predators and reproduction. I liked the use of comparisons to other animals to show how fast they move. I had no idea that snails make mucus roads that other snails follow, but that does account for why some of my plants get devoured before others.

Great comic for kids to learn about snails! Short and sweet perfect for that kid with a short attention span.
