Love, Escargot is the third hilarious
book in the award-winning Escargot picture book series; perfect for--but
not limited to--Valentine's Day!(goodreads summary)
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day! What better way to celebrate than with this cute and funny story about a French Snail hoping to find his Snailentine while attending a Valentine's party in the cabbage garden. He speaks directly to the reader as he prepares them on what makes a good Snailentine or if they are feeling a bit shy. The illustrations are large and in a soft color palette. Text is tricky with larger vocabulary words but we do learn a few french ones. Escargot is surprised when he arrives at the party and finds the host is a Vole and not who he thought. He is a little nervous but when he finds that he and Vole have things in common, he happily comes out of his shell. This story is about finding new friendships in others and is a charming book for Valentine's Day celebrating. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 4-7.~
