What reviewers said
School Library Journal 9 Books to Help Young Readers Feel the Love on Valentine's Day
PureWow 25 Valentine’s Day Books for Toddlers That Get the Holiday Right
"Breaking right through the fourth wall, the stylish snail encourages readers to embrace their snail selves . . . Sweet art means that when Escargot winsomely tells readers, 'You can kiss me if you like,' it’ll be hard for them to pass up the chance . . . Though love and snails rarely go together, it’s easy to be won over by this mighty mollusk."
"Though the narrative could easily ride on the sheer cuteness of its protagonist, Slater elevates it by seamlessly incorporating important themes into the lighthearted text. Escargot models kindness, demonstrates how to cope with daunting circumstances, and even introduces healthy relationship standards in a way that feels just right for a young audience: 'Your snailentine should be somebody who makes you feel magnifique' . . . Blending sweetness with substance, Escargot’s third picture book is a surefire hit for Valentine’s Day–themed story times."
"Doesn’t disappoint . . . The illustrations in soft-pink hues immerse you in shimmering snail magic. It was love at first sight for this magnifique book."
"Escargot’s voice is parfait."
"Say bonjour to your new favorite animal, the garden snail! . . . Give this charming read-aloud a little extra joie de vivre by reading it in your best French accent."
