One in a series of humorous books about disgusting creatures, The Slug
is a look at the land slug. It covers such topics as the slug's two
pairs of tentacles, one pair for seeing, one pair for smelling (it can
see you're a kid and smell like broccoli), its breathing hole (on the
side of its head!), and its pretty gross mucous covering (in order to
find a partner, the slug can follow another slug's mucous trail. True
love!). Although silly and off-the-wall, The Slug contains factual
information that will both amuse and teach at the same time.
