Love, Escargot

Ages 0 to 3

The unabridged board book edition of the third hilarious installment in the award-winning Escargot series, in which Escargot celebrates Snailentine's Day; perfect for—but not limited to—Valentine's Day!

Bonjour! Escargot is back, with a magnifique beret and a special invitation.

Today is Snailentine's Day, and Escargot is on his way to a party. Will his Snailentine be there? Maybe he will find another snail who also likes to read books and eat salad with a light vinaigrette.

But when he arrives at the party, Escargot is greeted not by a snail, but by a vole. Mon dieu! This is not a Snailentine's Day party at all. It is a Volentine's Day party! At first, Escargot wants to hide in his shell, but in the end, he finds a surprising new friend.

Now available in board book format, this is the perfect introduction to the Escargot series for babies and toddlers.
