Smirking & self-important, a slug slithers its way up a highly suspect slope. Will the slug stop? Are the sparrow, the spider & the swallowtail simply trying to sabotage the slug's progress? Why is everyone screaming at the slug?
Well, I live in Slugland &; I know why I scream at slugs as they eat my lettuce & lupines, so I had to pick up this book & find out what Pamela Duncan Edwards & Henry Cole had in store for me!
This is a story of pride coming before a fall & most of all an almost tongue-twisting tale of slithering, slimey suspense.
Wonderful stuff to get your esses in shape! ...

Great pictures, but no happy ending
19 Nov 2001

Format:Paperback
The pictures in this book are great, but the story is a little lacking. It is about a slug who "One summer Sunday while strolling on soil, with its antennae signaling, a slug sensed a slope." The slope turns out to be something "sinister" and there is no happy ending here. With a tender heart and used to happy endings, my little girl (7) was saddened by the ending and told me that she did not want me to read it to her the following night. I told her that I would change the ending to "and though the frog speedily slipped out it's slippery toungue, the slug somehow sneakily snuck away." In the book, the slug isn't so lucky! And I don't feel that the slug was smug at all, he was just going for a walk up a hill.

A Slugland Thriller!

Format:Hardcover
This is a silly, suspenseful saga penned in tongue-twisting poetry about pride coming before a fall, ignoring neighborly warnings & slithering up a slippery slope into the maw of destiny. Some Smug Slug is super with riveting illustrations! Very well done!

My students loved it!

I teach second grade, and one of our standards is to introduce our students to different forms of figurative language. My students loved all the alliterations and illustrations found in Some Smug Slug. They also enjoyed me reading itto them, and they had fun writing their own alliterations. I would recommend this book to any teacher who is looking for a good anchor book to introduce alliterations to her students.
