Perhaps there’s a bug theme? She loves this French snail and interacts with this book along the way–petting his shell, giving him a kiss, roaring on command, and trying to nibble on the carrot in the green salad of the book’s finale. And every time she sees a snail along our walks, she calls it an “escargot.” As a bonus, each time I read the part at the end where Escargot says, “You are very beautiful,” I tear up.
I fell in love with the adorable illustrations of this sweet and funny story in which Escargot wanders from page to page, determined to reach the tasty salade at the very end of the book.
Charmingly addressing the reader at every turn, Escargot narrates his own story in a French accent that begs to be read aloud.
From Katelyn's list on children’s fiction books featuring plenty of French flavor.
