Description
In A Book for Escargot, the standalone sequel to Escargot--written by award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author Dashka Slater and illustrated by Sydney Hanson--we follow a funny and charming French snail through a library to find the book of his dreams.
Bonjour! It is moi, Escargot, your favorite French snail. Today I am going on a trip to the library, where there are so many stories to choose from! Stories about dog superheroes... guinea pig detectives....and flamingo astronauts. But sadly, none of these books is about a daring snail hero who saves the day.
What is that you say? Perhaps this is the book about the snail hero? Ooh-la-la!

Escargot is a treat!
School Library Journal
K-Gr 2—Escargot is a slippery snail bursting with personality. He likes kisses, salad, and books. However, when he wants to spice up his lunch menu, he slowly searches for a cookbook and a new recipe, leaving a trail of slime in his wake. Unfortunately, the book he finds is inspired by Julia Child's Art of French Cooking. Its signature recipe? Escargot! Along his journey, Escargot encourages readers to give him kisses and pep talks. The interactivity may amuse younger readers, while older readers will either groan at or laugh at the snail-inspired book puns like Harry GastroPodder and the Chamber of Salads. Hanson's illustrations are warm and inviting, making Escargot the cuddliest snail ever. VERDICT This installment lacks the simplicity of Escargot's debut (Escargot), but it is still a fun interactive book that will have readers practicing their own over-the-top French accent.—Chance Lee Joyner, Haverhill Public Library, MA
