About the Author

From Booklist

Gr. 2-4. From the Minibeasts Up Close series, part of the Raintree Perspectives umbrella series, comes this clearly illustrated book that discusses snails: their habitats, physical characteristics, senses, locomotion, and reproduction as well as why one particular Pacific island species is endangered. Pyers presents a good deal of basic information using short sentences set in large type. Large-scale color photos offer clear views of a variety of snails in action, and a clearly labeled, cross-sectional drawing shows the creature's innards. A glossary and a short bibliography are appended. Though a few design elements, such as the green and pink backgrounds for the pages, detract from the overall presentation, the book offers children a good introduction to snails. Carolyn Phelan
