Some Smug Slug

Rating:
Summary: Great pictures, but no happy ending
Review: 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.

Summary: A Slugland Thriller!
Review: 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!
