Marylou + Herbie = A Lovely Story

Marylou loves Herbie,

Poetry fills her mind.

Herbie sees her poems,

Will Marylou he find?

Slugs in Love is an adorable love story, perfect for Valentine's Day or any other day. The text has a sweet creativity, the illustrations are darling, and the poetry nicely unites the illustrations and print. Children are able to problem solve with Marylou as she tries to get Herbie's attention and with Herbie as he tries to figure out just which slug is Marylou. The book is also a nice lead in to a discussion that poetry is a great form of communication. Marylou's a slug. Herbie is too. This is a book, especially for you!
