Unwrapping Some Illustrations 


















 

The Book



I love this book.  It is a winner on all levels.  An adorable quiet-loving snail is a party animal BUT he likes to party in his own style.   His kind of party celebrates all things with order, quietness and calmness.   His friends love to be loud, rambunctious and party-hearty!  Oh my how will he ever get invited to their parties if that is how they act? 


He decides rather than ban parties altogether he will throw a party of his own but do it his way!   What will be on his agenda do you think?  


Well, it certainly has to be a noiseless party and definitely include warm milk and lullaby lip-syncing.  But wait?  Whoever will come to a party like that?   All of his friend like celebrations that are boisterous and rockin '!  


Snail is at a loss as to whom he should invite.  He extends an invitation to Stump, a fellow introvert!  Happily his invitation is accepted. The two agree to create a like-minded party and together the two whoop it up shushingly ( I just made that word up) and they have a grand old time.  


The illustrations are awesome and all the characters portrayed are wonderful.  The message is positive and inspiring.  Every reader is invited to join Snail at his party as long as they leave their "loud" behind.  Will you be there?    If you remember to Shhhhhhh! you're in... please come and enjoy!   I highly, highly recommend this book.
