All of Snail's friends are going to bed, so he's off to wish them good night. Of course at his speed, the sun is coming up before he can finish the job. The mild twist ending will be a funny surprise for some readers. Hip, expansive watercolor, gouache, and colored-pencil pictures of a snail with a little boy's face illustrate the story.
