My Buddy, Slug
Pres-Grade 2–Having a pal like Slug can be too much of a good thing. The big orange creature shows up everywhere, intruding on all of his friends activities, even inviting himself for dinner and a sleepover. Finally the child screams, Hes ANNOYING….IM SICK OF HIM! Slug, overhearing the outburst, slinks away. The boy soon feels lonely, but after an apology, all ends well. This all-too-familiar theme is given fresh treatment with quirky, cartoonlike illustrations of the giant slug, done in acrylics. Large print makes the book accessible to beginning readers.–Sally R.
