SNAIL CROSSING

SNAIL CROSSING by Corey R. Tabor

I love flipping the border rocks around my flower gardens. Each flip exposes an entirely new world of what I will unscientifically call "creepy-crawlies." You know what I mean: those slithering and multi-legged creatures that freeze for a moment and then scatter as quickly as possible from the giantess that just invaded their habitat. Yes, that's me! One of those slitherers (maybe a glider is a better word choice) is the snail.

Snail CROSSING is a super, fun read! Our sweet, little snail has worked himself up to the side of the road, sees a cabbage patch on the other side, and makes a go for it. I understand this snail! Completely forgetting the difficulty of the road, my eyes are on the prize on the other side! So, he slides out! Needless to say, he's going to run into some serious obstacles, but along the way, he makes some friends that help him out. The book doesn't end how you would expect it would, but I can promise you that it still ends in a good way that helps to cement the importance of good friends in our lives! Great read!

Rabor's illustrations are a perfect match for the text. With a touch of comic style, the pictures add a light-hearted air to the difficult feat the little snail is trying to accomplish. Delightful!
