# Big as a Giant Snail - Hardcover

by **Jess Keating** (Author), **David DeGrand** (Illustrator)

**Go big or go home! Meet the biggest weirdos on Earth in this colosally cool collection from the team that brought you _Pink Is For Blobfish_.**

It's a big wide world, full of critters that are larger than life! Sure, there are the usual suspects: blue whales, polar bears, elephant seals . . . but others will take you by surprise. The giant snail, for instance, or the ginormous Atlas moth. Like _Pink Is for Blobfish_ and _Cute as an Axolotl, Big as a Giant Snail_ will cover a wide variety of species, while subtly delving into misconceptions and stereotypes associated with size. Best of all? These tall tales are totally true!

"**Awe-inspiring...** This work fits into so many lessons, from endangered species to climate change and habitat preservation, that it's hard to imagine a collection that would not benefit from having it on its shelves." --_School Library Journal_

### Author Biography

**Jess Keating** is a zoologist-turned-author who writes with the sort of wisdom you can only get from multiple crocodile bites and skunk sprays. Jess has been making up stories for as long as she can remember, and at the age of eight, she even started a library in her room (mainly so she could charge her brother late fees). She is also the author of the award winning biography _Shark Lady_ and the graphic novel series _Bonbon and Bun Bun_. She lives with her husband in Ontario, Canada, where she is hard at work on her next book.
