Synopsis
Snippet is a typical snail. But unlike other snails, he loves to wake up early. While his family is snoozing the morning away, he is wide awake and ready to race to the flowers, make leaf sculptures, and get piggyback rides. With the help of his bug friends, he tries and tries to wake his family up—but nothing works. Until Caterpillar gives him an idea.
Celebrating early birds and late snoozers alike, this story will ring true for the many families with little early risers. It's the perfect tale to fall asleep (or wake up!) to.

From Booklist
Snippet, the youngest in his snail family, is an early riser. One day, as the sun comes up, Snippet finds himself awake all alone and begins nudging his family for company. The bunch is slow to rouse, despite the helpful suggestions of a grasshopper (“let’s jump on the bed”), a cricket (“let’s wake them with music”), an ant (“push them out of bed”), and several other insect pals. Finally, Snippet comes up with his own creative solution, but once his family is awake, wouldn’t you know it, Snippet is ready for a nap. Murguia (Zoe Gets Ready, 2012) cleverly starts things off with endpapers that feature some engaging facts about the average snail, and her lovely imagery includes softly textured snail shells with lively and colorful patchwork-like designs. The straightforward story feels like it’s just an introduction to an appealing character, but the fine art, the satisfaction of the problem solving, and the habits of the snails—both familiar and odd—should have the young audience coming back for rereads. --Jesse Karp
