Why read it?

Snail is cabbage bound! The only thing that stands in his way is a busy highway and the fact that he movesā¦at a snailās 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.

From Renee's list on children's books that celebrate the joys of friendship, exploration, and imagination.
