(3) K-3 Snail and Slug bond over their complementary cooking and reading skills, the danger of salt, and the luxury of Snail's improbably roomy shell. Cartoonishly expressive mixed-media illustrations depict the endearingly domestic duo's burgeoning friendship, rendering them wide-eyed and lumpy against bright backgrounds that effectively contrast indoor and outdoor settings. A threatening banana slug introduces last-minute tension, only to be (somewhat gruesomely) defeated by salt.
