About this listen

To Snail or Not to Snail captures the magical moment a snail and a bee say hello and ponder how different things would be if they couldn't do the wonderful things they do. Bee, with her ultraviolet vision, and Snail, with his strong-as-superglue slime, show that everyone, no matter how small, has something precious to contribute to this world by simply being themselves.

Critic Reviews

"There may be no better time to listen to this poignant tale about the interconnectedness of life. Lucy Noland's melodic voice makes this seemingly simple poem sing with meaning. To Snail or Not to Snail will resonate deeply with adults and children alike." (Ellen Labrecque, New York Times best-selling children's author)

"Lucy Noland's audiobook, To Snail or Not To Snail, is a fascinating and meticulously researched book about bees and snails that will delight both children and their parents.... With its beautiful auditory backdrop, listeners are transported into this multi-layered book, which demonstrates that our lives are enriched when the world and our friends are diverse. This book will empower young readers by teaching them empathy and showing they are stewards of the planet." (Caroline Griffin, cofounder of Show Your Soft Side)

"This is the dearest book on several levels: from the social implications of meeting, sharing and trusting a new friend who is 'not like me' to the environmental component that shows Bee and Snail are grand stewards of the Earth. To Snail or Not to Snail is fun, gentle, engaging and endearing." (Bly Brown, MEd, retired children's librarian)
