Critic reviews

<p>“Escargot tires of winter and searches for signs of spring . . . Hanson’s gentle watercolors bring to life a charming verdant landscape. Equal parts insecure and boastful, Escargot embodies the roller coaster of emotions that many youngsters feel on any given day. Not to fear: Flowers are finally found and friendships are formed, but the steady, slimy path of chatty dialogue is, as usual, magnifique.” —<i>Kirkus Reviews <br></i> <br>“Young children will get a kick out of Escargot’s fourth story and may even learn a few of the French words scattered throughout Escargot’s ­monologue.” —<i>School Library Journal</i><b><br><br>Praise for the Escargot Series: <br><br></b>"Escargot’s voice is parfait." —<i>Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books</i>, <b>starred review</b>, on <i>Escargot <br></i><br>"Say bonjour to your new favorite animal, the garden snail! . . . Give this charming read-aloud a little extra joie de vivre by reading it in your best French accent." —<i>Booklist </i>on <i>Escargot </i><br><br>"Escargot is a treat!" —<i>Booklist </i>on <i>A Book for Escargot </i><br><br>"A fun interactive book that will have readers practicing their own over-the-top French accent." —<i>School Library Journal </i>on <i>A Book for Escargot </i><br><br>"It’s easy to be won over by this mighty mollusk." —<i>Kirkus Reviews </i>on <i>Love, Escargot <br></i><br>"It was love at first sight for this <i>magnifique</i> book." —<i>New York Journal of Books </i>on <i>Love, Escargot </i></p>

Cuter for youthful grown ups?

I am a grown up. I enjoyed reading the first book in this series, so I thought I would try an audio, (admittedly on sale) since I liked the sample. I enjoyed the reader all the way through. it's very light and simple, but the reader is so good I may try another, probably when on sale. although I do like the first book the best so far.
