    About this ebook

    Say Bonjour! to the first picture book in the bestselling Escargot series about a cute French snail and his laugh-out-loud adventures.

    Escargot is an adorable French snail who only wants two things: 1) To be your favorite animal, and 2) To eat the delicious salad at the end of this book. Except this delicious salad has a carrot in it. And Escargot hates carrots. But when he finally tries one—with a little help from you!—he realizes that it’s not so bad after all.

    From New York Times–bestselling author Dashka Slater and former Pixar animator Sydney Hanson, Escargot is an irresistibly sweet and charming story about a snail who might be a picky eater but definitely wants to be your new best friend. This hilarious and interactive addition to the award-winning Escargot series is the ideal read aloud for story time and animal lovers alike.

    Escargot is also available as a board book for babies and toddlers up to 3 years old.

    ● A Book for Escargot
    ● Love, Escargot (also available as a board book for babies and toddlers up to 3 years old)

      Cute! Interactive! And lots of fun ...
    • 5/5
      This is an adorable book. It made me smile. It kept my daughter and I both intrigued to turn each page. We will definitely be reading it again. My favorite animal is now the snail.
    • 5/5
      This book is adorable! Perfect for reading to my second grade students! It's about a French snail who encourages children to choose the snail as their favorite animal and invites children to eat salad.
    • 5/5
      A delightful book to read in a fake French accent! A wonderful way to open your child up to the beauty of some lesser celebrated animals. We'll be going back to this one again and again.
    • 5/5
      Tee hee, Escargot! Such a cute, wonderful read aloud book that will make you giggle, especially if you read it with an exaggerated French accent! Great for picky eaters and kids that love humor. One of my all-time faves.

      Escargot is a French snail with a lot of personality. Determined to convince the reader to pick him as their favorite animal, he presents his many wonderful qualities, from the shimmery trail he leaves behind as he moves, to his speed in racing. Inviting readers to participate in the story, by taking certain actions - roaring like a lion, stroking Escargot's shell - our hero proceeds to the end, where a delicious salad awaits. But will Escargot be able to stomach the carrots that have somehow gotten into that salad...?A sweet tale that includes some of the interactive elements that have become popular in picture-books of late - think of titles like Hervé Tullet's Press Here - Escargot features a winsome snail hero's journey, and appealing artwork. I enjoyed illustrator Sydney Hanson's work in Panda Pants, and I thought the visuals here were every bit as cute. Recommended to anyone looking for fun new picture-books that incorporate interactive elements into the storytelling process.
    • 5/5
      Oh my god, I could die of cute right now. This is the most adorable book in the world. This is another one of those rare books that I just sat and hugged for a minute after I'd finished it. It would make a perfect storytime book for the 4-8 year old crowd. I'm definitely suggesting it for our summer reading program collection at work next year. And I will recommend it to absolutely anyone who is looking for a cute picture book. Read it! You must! You will not regret it!

      (Mwah! I kiss you!)
