About the Book

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.

School Library Journal 9 Books to Help Young Readers Feel the Love on Valentine's Day
PureWow
25 Valentine's Day Books for Toddlers That Get the Holiday Right

"Breaking right through the fourth wall, the stylish snail encourages readers to embrace their snail selves . . . Sweet art means that when Escargot winsomely tells readers, 'You can kiss me if you like, ' it'll be hard for them to pass up the chance . . . Though love and snails rarely go together, it's easy to be won over by this mighty mollusk." --Kirkus Reviews

"Though the narrative could easily ride on the sheer cuteness of its protagonist, Slater elevates it by seamlessly incorporating important themes into the lighthearted text. Escargot models kindness, demonstrates how to cope with daunting circumstances, and even introduces healthy relationship standards in a way that feels just right for a young audience: 'Your snailentine should be somebody who makes you feel magnifique' . . . Blending sweetness with substance, Escargot's third picture book is a surefire hit for Valentine's Day-themed story times." --School Library Journal

"Doesn't disappoint . . . The illustrations in soft-pink hues immerse you in shimmering snail magic. It was love at first sight for this magnifique book." --New York Journal of Books

More Praise for the Escargot Series:

"Escargot's voice is parfait." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review, on Escargot

"Say bonjour to your new favorite animal, the garden snail! . . . Give this charming read-aloud a little extra joie de vivre by reading it in your best French accent." --Booklist on Escargot

"Escargot is a treat!" --Booklist on A Book for Escargot

"A fun interactive book that will have readers practicing their own over-the-top French accent." --School Library Journal on A Book for Escargot
