Slugs in Love
Written by Susan Pearson
Illustrated by Kevin O'Malley
Why we're crazy about SLUGS IN LOVE:
1. No cute teddy bears, bunny wabbits, or puddy tats to be found here. Just slugs. All slugs, all the time.
2. While it's true that they're romantic, pining, poetry-writing slugs...these slugs write poems with their own slime.
That's right. Slugs + Slime + Poetry = Love. Here's the scoop:
Marylou, a shy slug with charming pink bows on her eye stalks, loves Herbie...but Herbie doesn't even know she exists. Marylou starts leaving Herbie romantic poems in various locations. Herbie tries to leave poems for Marylou in return, but his attempts are always foiled.
Marylou is in despair. Why won't Herbie notice her?!
Herbie is in despair. Who the heck is Marylou?!
Fortunately, Pearson and O'Malley come through with a happy, slime-filled ending guaranteed to please slugs and readers alike. Vive l'amour!
