The World, Spring

1 Very Beautiful French Snail Suffering from Ennui
1 Very Big Snowbank (That Follows Us)
1 Knock Knock Joke

Jealousy
1 Snail Snit
1 Hopping Competition
1 Picnic

The Short Version:
Bonjour! Once again it is time to visit with a very beautiful French snail! We discuss excellent ways to overcome ennui, we tell jokes. But also he becomes very hangry and jealous when the reader (that is you!) pays attention to an adorable bunny rabbit! Perhaps you would prefer to spend time with the bunny rabbit rather than the magnifique French snail? Perhaps if the bunny rabbit will not go, he will have to make a very FIERCE FACE? Perhaps all will end well with flowers and a beautiful salad. That is all we can hope for springtime.

These are so cute and so fun to read with an Outrageous French Accent - I wish more people had heard of them.… (mais)

A cute snail is making his way to a salad on the other side of table to get to the salad. It is the most wonderful salad and best part about the salad, is it has no carrots! Along his journey, he brings in the reading to help him along his journey in actions that they must complete such as telling him to come out when he hide in his shell. Wonderful pictures that go along with story and the wording helps to create a french accent while reading. An adorable story that ends with Escargot finally reaching his salad only to find...IT HAS CARROTS. You will have to read to find out what happens.… (mais)
