In this silly sequel to Snail and Worm, the dynamic duo are back for more fun and giggles in three new comic shorts brimming with quirky humor and unflappable friendship. At turns clever and sweet, these laugh-out-loud stories are perfect for readers coming out of their own shells and making the transition between picture books and chapter books.

As Publishers Weekly commented on the first book in this series: "Snail and Worm's direct, simplified dialogue is perfect for beginning readers, and their unabashed dopiness--equally evident in their conversations and in Kügler's mixed-media cartoons--delivers a steady stream of laughs."

Like such popular pairs as Stick and Stone, Narwhal and Jelly, Frog and Toad, and George and Martha, Snail and Worm friendship stories are perfect for early readers.

Booklist Review

In this return of Snail and Worm, each of the three short chapters conveys an important message that is covered in humor and sprayed withsilly. In the first chapter, Snail grows wings when a feather lands on Snail's shell. Worm is sad because his best friend is going to fly away; Snail had not thought about that part and now Snail is sad. A lovely full spread is dedicated to the two friends just feeling sad a moment that seems to say that it's all right to just be sad sometimes. Thankfully, the feather flies off without Snail and relief is felt by both friends. This story line, like all the other two stories, is captured in short, delightful sentences and illustrations that support early readers. The pencil illustrations, done with mixed-media collage in a soft palette, balance and highlight the joyful narrative. Themes of acceptance, self-love, and appreciation make this an excellent choice for early readers or a one-on-one storybook for older pre-readers.--Ginman, Karen Copyright 2017 Booklist
