Why read it?
1 author picked Snail Crossing as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Snail is cabbage bound! The only thing that stands in his way is a busy highway and the fact that he moves…at a snail’s pace. Through his determination, he finds a way to be helpful to a colony of ants who ultimately find a way to return the favor.
