Snippet The Early Riser (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

I picked this one up because I love books about snails. Honestly I liked the illustrations more than the story. Snippet is a very energetic snail, pretty much like a normal under 7 year old and likes to play soccer, draw, and get piggyback rides. Like small children, he wakes up way earlier than his parents and sister and does everything in his power to wake them up so they can all play together. Recommended for ages 3-6, 3 stars. Watercolor, gouache and ink illustrations show the daily activities that Snippet the snail enjoys. Though he's a pretty typical snail he isn't on the same sleep schedule as his family and tries everything he can think of to rouse his loved ones. Enlisting the help of his friends he accomplishes his goal, but before long turns tires and turns in.Humorous with illustrations that perfectly complement the text. I really liked the unique designs of each snail's shell and the way that Snippet's bug friends volunteered their specialized abilities to help wake his family.
