4.0 out of 5 stars Snail trail, July 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Snail Trail (Hardcover)

No doubt this will be a hit with kids who enjoy slimey things. Cute and sturdy, and a creative introduction to "directional concepts" (as the publisher calls them). You know, "into a forest" "up a hill" "over a bridge"... You get the picture. I gave it four stars simply because I like the authors new book Ten Seeds even better.
