Staff Review:
When I brought this book home, I was greeted with an incredulous look - "YOU are going to read a book about a SNAIL?" Snails have not been my favorite creature, to say the least. However, this book was really very charming and lovely. The author's bed-ridden state allows her to observe the little creature that was brought into her room via a potted plant, and it becomes her little pet. Really well written, and really a delight.
