This colorful first nature picture book, written by Judy Allen and illustrated by Tudor Humphries, gives children aged 4 to 7 an inside look at how they would experience life if they were a snail.

Ideal for reading aloud or as a first reader, the detailed, warm illustrations bring this familiar creature to life in a truly memorable way. Children who love snails will learn all about their life cycles and behavior, and the witty, interactive text--beginning with the question "Are you a snail?"--will encourage readers to explore the similarities and differences between themselves and these fascinating animals.

And if you love insects, why not collect all ten titles in the Backyard Books series?
