Book overview

The first picture book in the bestselling Escargot series about a cute French snail and his laugh-out-loud adventures.

Escargot is an adorable French snail who only wants two things: 1) To be your favorite animal, and 2) To eat the delicious salad at the end of this book. Except this delicious salad has a carrot in it. And Escargot hates carrots. But when he finally tries one--with a little help from you!--he realizes that it's not so bad after all.

From New York Times-bestselling author Dashka Slater and former Pixar animator Sydney Hanson, Escargot is an irresistibly sweet and charming story about a snail who might be a picky eater but definitely wants to be your new best friend. This hilarious and interactive addition to the award-winning Escargot series is the ideal read aloud for story time and animal lovers alike.

Escargot is also available as a board book for babies and toddlers up to 3 years old.
