Excerpt
We slip along the outside wall,
and up the window pane.
We leave an oozy, slimy trail,
a sticky, sluggy stain.
Professional Reviews
Slippy, Slimy fun!
My little grandson loves this fun and catchy story.
As with many children, he has a fascination for slugs and snails, so this squelchingly humorous story really hits the mark. His favourite slug is tiny 'Archibald', though the pictures of the tenticled eyeballs are what really gets him giggling!
Looks fantastic in colour on my 'Kindle for PC'.
I hate Slugs!
I hate slugs! So I could use an authentically disgusted voice when I read this rhyming story to my grandchildren. They, of course loved it! Much to my squeamishness, they want it read over and over again. Efen as a bedtime story!
They particularly love the eyeballs and the coulourful illustrations that are simple, but convey so much character.
Really recommend this one.
