A Book for Escargot
AN INDIE BESTSELLER ● A cute French snail searches for the book of his dreams in this laugh-out-loud second picture book in the bestselling Escargot series.
Escargot is going on a trip to the library, where there are so many stories to choose from. Sadly, none of these tales are about daring--and adorable--snail heroes who save the day. But when Escargot asks you for help creating a fabulous story of his own, perhaps this could become just the book he's been looking for. From New York Times-bestselling author Dashka Slater and former Pixar animator Sydney Hanson, A Book for Escargot is an irresistibly sweet and charming story that subtly teaches kids how to write their own story. This hilarious and interactive addition to the award-winning Escargot series is the ideal read aloud for story time and animal lovers alike. Don't miss Escargot's other funny and heartwarming adventures for kids ages 4-6 in:● Escargot (also available as a board book for babies and toddlers up to 3 years old)
● Love, Escargot (also available as a board book for babies and toddlers up to 3 years old)
● Escargot and the Search for Spring (also available as a board book for babies and toddlers up to 3 years old)
