""Escargot tires of winter and searches for signs of spring . . . Hanson's gentle watercolors bring to life a charming verdant landscape. Equal parts insecure and boastful, Escargot embodies the roller coaster of emotions that many youngsters feel on any given day. Not to fear: Flowers are finally found and friendships are formed, but the steady, slimy path of chatty dialogue is, as usual, magnifique."" --Kirkus Reviews Praise for the Escargot Series: ""Escargot's voice is parfait."" --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review, on Escargot ""Say bonjour to your new favorite animal, the garden snail! . . . Give this charming read-aloud a little extra joie de vivre by reading it in your best French accent."" --Booklist on Escargot ""Escargot is a treat!"" --Booklist on A Book for Escargot ""A fun interactive book that will have readers practicing their own over-the-top French accent."" --School Library Journal on A Book for Escargot ""It's easy to be won over by this mighty mollusk."" --Kirkus Reviews on Love, Escargot ""It was love at first sight for this magnifique book."" --New York Journal of Books on Love, Escargot
