Slug Life
Publisher: Rocket Bird Books
Stevie is sick of being a disgusting old slug and tired of being called a pest by humans. He is officially the grumpiest slug in the world! So, he joins a slug self-esteem course, to learn about all the things that make slugs special. Follow Stevie’s journey and learn alongside him as he discovers the unexpectedly fascinating lives of slugs in this brilliant picture book from Moesha Kellaway.
Combining the charm and characters of a narrative picture book with the facts and diagrams of a non-fiction title, Slug Life celebrates the world of slugs in a brilliantly fun way. There are seriously sassy slugs, underground trails that weave throughout the book, genuinely interesting facts and infographics, details to spot in the illustrations, and even a comic-style section.
This book is perfect for reading in school or at home. As well as being silly, it also links to the science curriculum by explaining food cycles and describing animal features. After reading, children might enjoy inventing their own slugs, drawing slug tunnels or using thumb painting and googly eyes to replicate the simple slug illustrations.
