SYNOPSIS

Escargot would like to know about your favorite animal. He really hopes you’ll say it’s the snail.

He wants to tell you about his shimmery trail, his roaring skills, his hatred of carrots.

He’d like you to choose his favorite part – his shell, his neck, his tentacles?

He’ll even share his salad with you (but only if you race him for it!).

But most of all, Escargot wants to be your friend – and for that you get a kiss!

Oh là là.

So lighthearted, cute, and entertaining – it will stick in kids’ and parents’ minds for years.
How awesome is it that you get to use “Au contraire!” in everyday speech now!
After reading this book, you’ll wonder a bunch why, really, aren’t snails kids’ favorite animals?!

How many French words and phrases can you count in this book? Soon you will be fluent in French!
Why DO you think no one ever says that the snail is their favorite animal?
What trick does the salad play on Escargot toward the end? (Do you like carrots?)
