As the first book, How to Party Like a Snail, was on this year's Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Awards nomination list, I have read it aloud no less than 15 times. And yet, I love it. So, when I saw there is a sequel, I squealed and requested it!

How to Staycation Like A Snail lives up to the premise of the original. Snail and Stump plan a staycation where they get to do all their favorite quiet sightseeing activities. When some new friends parachute in, they are excited to show off and share their backyard.

I love how these books show children that different people have different preferences and likes. I am excited to add this to my library and read it aloud no less than 15 times.

Thank you to Owl Kids Books and Net Galley for the eARC. All opinions are my own.

This is the perfect picture book to encourage kids to explore their own neighborhoods and really take time to use all five senses to try to notice EVERYTHING!! Snail is very good at showing us how to appreciate the world around us and enjoy the quiet moments in life. Kids will definitely be excited to be like Snail, pack a small backpack or shell of their own and go on their own little adventure. I love Stump, everyone needs a Stump in their life, and the visitors are so much fun too. Wonderful story!

I love this cute little snail. Such a fun character with great adventures. I am glad to see it as a series of stories. I am not a fan of snails in real life but I can’t help but love this snail.

The Snail books are always so cute. I really liked this one about finding fun things right at home. I liked the look at the staycation and finding friends who like those things too.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.
