Henry the Snail | Katarina Macurova
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
A gentle story about a little snail called Henry who was born without slime and therefore will never be like everyone else.When Henry finds out he's missing the most important element for snails--the slime--giving up is not an option for him. He tries to find ways to be able to climb things just as the other snails do. He struggles a bit before he finds the right solution, but in the end, he becomes the inspiration for his fellow snails and makes a lot of friends along the way, teaching us that far from being an obstacle, a difference may prove to be the key that opens new horizons.Using a simple story and a sympathetic hero the kids learn social-emotional skills and are better prepared to cope with everyday life situations.

4 ⭐ Henry has no slime. He was born different. But he wants to be like other snails, he just has to learn to do things differently. And sometimes he has to ask for help. This book was lovely, and a lovely parable of disability, and how there is ability, it is just sometimes different. And while this book is lovely, the illustrations are bright and colorful and kids will love it, as an adult I find a few things funny.

LibrarianRyan The snail pole dances and teaches others to do so too. It does not say that anywhere, but as an adult that is what I get from the pictures. However, kids will just get the intended lesson. This book has a bit of something for everyone. 11mo
