Escargot

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sydney Hanson. Peppy French snail Escargot--in a striped shirt, neckerchief, and beret--asks readers to help it reach a salad. While the interactive text creatively incorporates French words and snail facts--and encourages trying new foods--the final twist is confusing. Pastel-colored, digital-looking illustrations with varied pacing and perspectives help the expressive invertebrate stand out.
