Big as a Giant Snail (World of Weird Animals)

by Jess Keating (Author) David DeGrand (Illustrator)

Big as a Giant Snail (World of Weird Animals)
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

Go big or go home! Meet the biggest weirdos on Earth in this colosally cool collection from the team that brought you Pink Is For Blobfish.

It's a big wide world, full of critters that are larger than life! Sure, there are the usual suspects: blue whales, polar bears, elephant seals . . . but others will take you by surprise. The giant snail, for instance, or the ginormous Atlas moth. Like Pink Is for Blobfish and Cute as an Axolotl, Big as a Giant Snail will cover a wide variety of species, while subtly delving into misconceptions and stereotypes associated with size.

Best of all? These tall tales are totally true!
