Slug: The Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

I admit, I was looking a bit funnily when I saw the title of the book. Slugs in love? Slugs aren’t really my favourite creatures, and one in love sounds weird. But I still couldn’t resist, and I do love reading some very random books so requesting it was. And here I am. Reading it. This new book represents a quantum leap forward for slug biology, and its appearance should revolutionise work on these fascinating animals. It can really get the 'slug world' moving, and for those already engaged in study it should provide the means to approach identification with a new confidence. Certain aspects of slug identification will never be easy, but the book provides assistance and encouragement to make the task less daunting and even relatively straightforward. By revealing the fascinating diversity it will surely encourage many newcomers to look at slugs in a new light. The guide is also a keystone work that can assist in the study of distributional changes that relate to the spread of invasive species, as well as revealing more about the true range of our established slug fauna. Making slime would be the perfect activity after reading this cute rhyming story about finding true love in unexpected places. This relatively small and neat volume manages to include a tremendous amount of information; no space is wasted. Its compact dimensions mean that, unlike many identification guides, it really can be used in the field. As a teacher, parent, and lover of children's literature, I am thrilled to recommend Slug in Love by Rachel Bright. This adorable picture book is a heartwarming tale of friendship, courage, and self-acceptance that will captivate young readers.

Carol Wilton leaves her four-year-old son Paul in the garden to buy some bread and milk, while he sits and watches slugs eat his rabbit. The S-words and S- shapes are very much a part of the story. I would start out by asking what SMUG means. It is very much a part of this snail's personality and his undoing. Our Smug slug starts up a steep slope and his animal friends all voice loud warnings, but Slug keeps climbing. By the time you get to the eyes you have a sense that this is not good. And then you find out that frogs eat Smug Slugs. The book stars a slug named Doug who “needs a hug.” Doug consistently misses the love boat. He seeks affection in all the right places from creepy-crawlies he thinks might be interested in him, but he’s shot down time and again. This article needs additional citations for verification.

I usually have quite a soft spot for children's books that are about animals that aren't usually considered cute. So, I loved that this is about a slug (who is actually very cute thanks to the artwork).Brady goes to see if the poison has done its job, but although some of the pellets have gone, the slugs are still there. Upon completing this adorably funny book, I informed everyone at work that they need to read this book, and recommend it to absolutely everyone. It's hilarious, it's cute and that Snail has glasses. Brady goes to a garden centre and buys a bottle of slug poison and some slug pellets. He puts them down in his garden.

Her work aims to capture a free way of thinking - one which makes you feel anything is possible, a feeling all too easily lost with the end of childhood. When we’re all grown-up, sometimes we just need a little nudge to remember it’s been there all along. The illustrations were great and when I read it with my daughter we both felt so sorry for the slug so we were very happy that he got the ending he did! Her written work includes children’s stories and poems, clever advertising copy and lots of other stuff besides. Her illustrative work is a smorgasboard of giant, hand-printed poems, mind-bogglingly detailed gouache illustrations and a cacophony of quirky prints and etchings.

In recent years, those working on terrestrial molluscs have expehenced an increasingly frustrating time in the task of identification. Although some species are relatively easy to identify, others can be extremely difficult to separate. It's a problem that has arisen thanks to the arrival and spread of non-native species as well as the realisation that some established species may have been incorrectly named or are actually a group of closely inter-related species, typically requiring specialist Identification techniques to resolve. Snuggle up with lonesome Doug on his search for love in this completely charming picture book which shows that you just never know when love might come flying by... (And which introduces an unsuspecting world to snail superstar, Gail!) Doug is a slug who wants a hug, but nobody wants to hug Doug. He goes off in the world to see if he can find someone to give him a hug & after many attempts, he is getting a little discouraged....but then, well, the impossible happens. The Way Home For Wolf is one of my absolute favourite small children's books so I was really excited to get this one from netgalley.
