Why a book about the garden snail? Every child knows snails and has probably picked one up to observe it closely. The garden snail is our largest land snail, which is why it is the focus of this book. It’s fascinating to watch a snail slowly emerge from its shell with its foot and head. Finally, it extends its tentacles. The two large tentacles look like two upward-facing horns. Snails are very different from us, which is why many people find them particularly interesting. The slime doesn’t bother them at all. You will learn, among other things, how important the slime is for the snail and how it moves with it, what the snail smells, and what it sees. You will also get to know many relatives of the garden snail. And at the end, games, songs, craft tips, and much more await you!.
