The Amazing Trail of Seymour Snail - by Lynn E Hazen (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Seymour has always dreamed of being a great artist. But he's shy about showing his artwork and, being a snail, he's slow. Who will hire him?

When Seymour finds a job at the Speedy Arts Gallery, he is thrilled-- until he finds himself sliming envelopes shut and delivering packages. Well, even great artists have to start somewhere. And who knows? Seymour's big break might be just around the corner!

Review Quotes

"Young gradeschoolers will enjoy all the talk about slime and goo, as well as the puns about a friendly spider, who is working on something big--the World Wide Web. Children will also cheer for the small creature, who oozes along at a snail's pace but triumphs in the end." --Booklist

"Engaging characters and winning art create a solid addition to the field of transitional literature." --Kirkus Reviews

"With only a few sentences and at least one illustration per page, this title is perfect for students transitioning to chapter books." --School Library Journal
