PreSchool-Grade 1-In the first story, Princess Buttercup lives in a magic garden with five other flower princesses. While preparing for a party on the first day of spring, she gets lost in the woods following a butterfly. The friendly monarch picks her up and returns her to the garden in time for the festivities. Youngsters will be drawn to the brightly hued cover and fanciful art. The pace of life in Snail City is nice and slow-until Gail is born. Called "fast poke" by the other snail children, she is considered a bit odd until her quick actions save a baby. Children will enjoy the humor and the cartoon art. Both books have large type, easy vocabulary, and lots of repetition that will help develop and reinforce their reading skills.
