Escargot -- Dashka Slater, Hardcover

Bonjour Escargot is a beautiful French snail who wants only two things:

1. To be your favorite animal.
2. To get to the delicious salad at the end of the book.

But when he gets to the salad, he discovers that there's a carrot in it. And Escargot hates carrots. But when he finally tries one--with a little help from you --he discovers that it's not so bad after all

A charming and interactive picture book ideal for picky eaters and animal lovers alike.
