Escargot

Ages 4 to 6

This is the unabridged board book edition of the funny and charming award-winning picture book, Escargot.

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.
