SLUGS IN LOVE by Susan Pearson Youth New Book Shelves Lower Level - P
Who knew slugs could fall in love? That is the premise of this wonderful engaging new picture book which is beautifully illustrated by Kevin O’Malley. Sweet Marylou writes loving poems to her crush Herbie in slime. Herbie reads these messages, but unfortunately, his answers to her poetry and requests of getting to know one another are either erased or not seen by Marylou. This situation makes Marylou sad, and it also makes Herbie ponder who is this wonderful Marylou that loves him so much? Herbie tries to find her, but to no avail. Finally one day, Herbie decides to write a message to her in a place she cannot miss! Luckily his idea works, and alas Marylou and Herbie meet and fall in love. This is a wonderfully sweet and well-written picture book that is sure to bring joy to readers of every age!
