Snail Has Lunch — Mary Peterson

Chuckle your way through this easy-to-read illustrated chapter book about a snail who leaves his bucket for a bigger world.

Snail is a merry little mollusk in his rusty bucket. Day after day, rain or shine, Snail doesn't move -- and that suits him just fine. But when his bucket is turned over, his life takes a topsy-turvy turn. A journey through the vegetable garden with this adventurous friend Ladybug proves delicious -- red, juicy strawberries…YUM! -- and dangerous when he comes face to face with a gopher, then a rabbit, and an unfortunate nibble on a hot red pepper…

Can Snail find happiness in this big, new world -- or will he wish he never left his bucket?
