not my favorite art

Playful color illustrations highlight the enthusiastic verse sprinkled with positive, character-building messages. A read-aloud treat for young people ages 2-8. "The Snail's House": The snail's house has no doors / So her friends can't come in. All day long she dreams and thinks, / Of how to visit them. // She can't invite the other bugs / To tea or for a snack, / Because her little doorless house, / She carries on her back!
