Sally is a sleek, slim and simply stunning slug...and she knows it. She can't resist reminding her neighbor, Dave, that he's just a common fat slug who spends his time sitting on his slimy slug bottom. But when Sally's life is at stake, Dave steps in and saves the day!
Alliterations abound in this terrific tongue-twister of a tale.
"The book succeeds at presenting a real-live romance to enjoy for kids whose tastes may not run to Cinderella and her gang." - BookTots
"...a highly entertaining title that is sure to please preschoolers." - Jen Robinson's Book Page
"...a little lesson at looking carefully before judging." - Cindy Mitchell, South Jordan Middle School
"...a sweet tale featuring lots of s-alliteration and a clash of sluggish personalities. Sally and Dave: A Slug Story begs to be read aloud. Toddlers to emergent readers will enjoy hearing the hiss of the words as they stream by. But what really makes Sally and Dave a hit are Arena's inspired illustrations. His cartoon-like slugs are obsessed with sports, food and the good life. Their expressive googly eyes tell a tale of friendship all their own and are fun to follow throughout Sally and Dave's epic story. A not-to-miss read aloud for the three- to eight-year-old set." - Book Buds Kidlit
"This funny and unique picture book will show young readers...never...to judge anyone, even a slug, by what they look like." - Through the Looking Glass Children's Book Review
"This book would make a great read aloud for younger children, and definitely cheer anyone up who’s had a particularly grumpy day. If you’re looking for a book that will make your child chuckle, Sally and Dave, a Slug Story would make a perfect choice." - The Well-Read Child
