This ambrosial motion-picture show book focuses on a snail who likes to political party...just quietly. Information technology uses humorous text and illustrations to share how having different preferences for "fun" can make a snail feel isolated.

Well, it certainly has to be a noiseless political party and definitely include warm milk and lullaby lip-syncing. But wait? Whoever will come to a party like that? All of his friend like celebrations that are bouncy and rockin '!

Snail is at a loss as to whom he should invite. He extends an invitation to Stump, a fellow introvert! Happily his invitation is accepted. The two agree to create a like-minded political party and together the two whoop it upward shushingly ( I just made that word up) and they take a thou old time.

The illustrations are awesome and all the characters portrayed are wonderful. The message is positive and inspiring. Every reader is invited to join Snail at his party as long every bit they go out their "loud" behind. Volition you lot be in that location? If you lot remember to Shhhhhhh! you're in... please come and savor! I highly, highly recommend this book.
