This Is What A Slug Does

Informative, infused with a dash of wit, and the spare, watercolorlike art is both beautiful and droll. A surprisingly—and satisfyingly—dramatic day in the life of a slug.

* Kirkus *

In this eye-popping, science-led series starter, May and Bartels spotlight slugs’ spectacular qualities. Wry third-person narration follows a specimen dubbed Simon, and the memorable account closes with “more odd slug facts.” Endearingly accessorizing Simon with a blue bowler, naive-style, shape-based ink and gouache renderings emphasize mucus trails amid flora and fauna. Slugs shine in this slick assessment.

* Publishers Weekly *

A wonderfully juicy primer for young gardeners and naturalists.
