Snails and Slugs

Children's Literature - Janet L. Rose

There are more than 80,000 species of snails and slugs around the world, ranging in size from a tiny dot to twelve inches long. Most snails and slugs eat plants, but one kind of sea slug eats fish and other small animals. Their venom is powerful enough to kill people. Snails and Slugs is packed with fascinating facts as well as simple experiments, information on how to obtain and care for snails, and full-color photographs. This book is a part of the "Nature Close-Up" series and a must for budding naturalists.
