Slug Life

The charming premise of Slug Life involves Stevie the slug becoming so fed up with being called "pest", "disgusting" and "gross" that his mum sends him to 'slug self-esteem class' to learn all about what makes his species so brilliant. What follows is a vibrant celebration of slugs, from their superpowered physical attributes to the key role they play in the ecosystem. The book uses a variety of textual and illustrative techniques to convey information, including notebook diagrams, comic strips, and a slug Hall of Fame.

Slug Life marks the start of a series on ‘Misunderstood Minibeasts’ from Rocket Bird Books.
