Fan of Mercer Mayer's classic Little Critter series will delight in debut author Nici Gregory's expressive characters in this interactive picture book about finding and ultimately freeing a special slug.
George and his sister Lotta have found a new slug friend named Speedy. They can’t wait to introduce him to the family, but Speedy has other plans. He escapes! Can you help find him? Their extended family and friends certainly try to help. But is George and Lotta’s jar really the best place for Speedy, or does he belong outside with his fellow slugs?
This story taps into the desire kids have to capture and keep the things they find in nature. But Speedy's adventure just may make them think twice about removing their next discovery from its true home.
