Bonjour! Escargot is back, with a magnifique beret and a special invitation.
From New York Times-bestselling author Dashka Slater, Love, Escargot is the third hilarious book in the award-winning Escargot picture book series; perfect for-but not limited to-Valentine's Day!
Today is Snailentine's Day, and Escargot is on his way to a party. Will his Snailentine be there? Maybe he will find another snail who also likes to read books and eat salad with a light vinaigrette.
But when he arrives at the party, Escargot is greeted not by a snail, but by a vole. Mon dieu! This is not a Snailentine's Day party at all. It is at a Volentine's Day party! At first, Escargot wants to hide in his shell, but in the end, he finds a surprising new friend.
