Snail likes to party, but his version of party differs from the other animals in the forest. Loud noisy parties are not what he enjoys. Quiet, cozy, comfortable parties with warm milk, a soft shell and lullabies are his favorite. Will he be able to have a party like this that his friends will enjoy as well?
Such a cute book! It speaks to my quiet soul and there are students who will also relate. The main character is a snail, other characters include forest animals, a skunk, bear, rabbit, fox and raccoon. A stump appears in the background of each page spread, keep an eye on the action there. Illustrations are wonderful. Character expressions add to the story and there is much going on in the background for readers to look at. The cover wrap is different from the book jacket, end papers are covered with party hats. Hrab shares a positive message and highlights the fact that while noisy can be fun, quiet can be enjoyable as well.
