By Elise Gravel, Author & Illustrator. One in a series of humorous books about disgusting creatures, The Slug is a look at the land slug. It covers such topics as the slugs two pairs of tentacles, one pair for seeing, one pair for smelling (it can see youre a kid and smell like broccoli), its breathing hole (on the side of its head!), and its pretty gross mucous covering (in order to find a partner, the slug can follow another slugs mucous trail. True love!). Although silly and off-the-wall, The Slug contains real information that will tie in with curriculum. For ages 6 and up.
