Big, strong, and fast (for a snail), the wolfsnail has a taste for meat, and in some areas, it is called the cannibal snail. On the prowl, the wolfsnail finds the slime trail of a smaller snail and follows the path toward its prey. When the chase ends and the dramatic feast is done, nothing remains of the smaller snail... except an empty shell. <p/>Slithering and suspenseful, this enlightening book also includes amazing facts about the wolfsnail and a glossary.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Sure to encourage early readers and listeners to explore their own backyards for similarly wondrous creatures. -<i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b></i> <p/>Even the glossary is fun, with words ranging from cannibal and mollusc to mucus and slug. . . .
