About this title

Synopsis

Marylou loves everything about Herbie, from the way his slime trail glistens in the dark to how he always finds the juiciest tomato. But Marylou is a shy slug. How can she get Herbie to notice her? Then she hits on a surefire way - only her plan has to weather a few problems before it works! This delightful, funny and touching story turns normally unpopular garden pests into charismatic creatures of passion. The simple storyline and language combined with the endearing illustrations make it perfect to read to younger children, easy for first readers to enjoy by themselves, and a pleasure for parents.
