BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
A slug is busy munching leaves when George and Lotta look for a creature to put in their pickle jar that is filled with leaves and sticks. Lotta finds a slug and they name him Speedy. They bring Speedy into the house to meet their daddy. Daddy offers them pretzels. While they are eating, Speedy climbs out of the jar. The kids realize that speedy is gone and look everywhere for him. They get Grandad, Grandma, Momma, and the three little kittens from next door to help look for him. They find lots of other critters. Will they ever find speedy?
Where’s Speedy is a fun and interactive story. When Speedy is missing, the reader can look for him camouflaged on every page. I also like the way it teaches children how to make a safe bug habitat, and to let the creature go back to his family at the end of the day. The illustrations are cute, clever, and enjoyable.
