The Amazing Trail Of Seymour Snail
Seymour's house is filled with his sculptures and paintings. Seymour liked them, but he wasn't sure anyone else would. When his friends discovered his talent, they encouraged him to get a job. Ultimately, he took a job with the Speedy Arts Gallery as the errand snail: sliming envelopes, making deliveries. When Seymour has to deliver a painting to Coco La Roach, the gallery owner, he gets a new perspective on his art.
Adorable insects and bug humor combine in this sweet story about making your dreams come true.
None.
A snail in a beret caught our daughter's interest, and she giggled at how Seymour tried to disguise his artwork. She didn't like Mr. Stink Bug and would talk back to the book about how mean he was.
This is a cute story. The characters are cute and the wordplay is wonderful. With lots of illustrations and plenty of humor, this is a great selection for reluctant and remedial readers.
This is a transitional reader about a snail who wants to be an artist.
The main themes in the story are perseverance and following your dreams. There are also underlying themes of friendship, hard work, and dealing with disagreeable bugs (I mean people).
