# Snails Are Just My Speed! - Hardcover

by **Kevin McCloskey** (Author)

**What's the scoop behind all the mucus?  
**  
Did you know snails build roads like engineers and go undercover in camouflage like top secret spies? Did you know they can be smaller than a seed or bigger than a grown-up's hand? Cartoonist Kevin McCloskey is back with his trademark mixture of real-life science, lovely art, and infectious hilarity for the slimiest book in his acclaimed Giggle and Learn series, praised by the _New York Times_ as "a winning combination of facts and gross-out fun."

### Author Biography

Kevin McCloskey is the author of the critically acclaimed TOON Books **Giggle and Learn series** and an illustration professor at Pennsylvania's Kutztown University. After writing this book, Kevin is practically a snail expert, but he can't tell us whether the snails served in restaurants are tasty - he's never eaten one. What's the closest he's come to trying snails? Kevin says, "Sometimes, when I cook artichokes, I put a clove of garlic in the leaves. Then when they're cooked, I forget I put the garlic in and I think there's a slug in my food."
