Slug: The Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

McGraw Hill is one of the largest textbook producers for college and lower grade levels. Students can buy or rent books directly from McGraw Hill. Admittedly, rentals are not available for every course. The illustrations in Slug in Love are a standout feature of the book. Rachel Bright's artwork is colorful, charming, and full of personality. The expressive illustrations of Doug and his friends bring the story to life and add depth to the characters, making them relatable and endearing to young readers. Some birds, frogs, toads, hedgehogs, slow-worms and ground beetles eat slugs and these predators should be encouraged in gardens

The clunky rhyming in this book will keep it out of my story times. There is so much rhyme for rhyme's sake - Doug, hug, slug, snug, bug - and yet the author also rhymes all of these words with "love." It feels sloppy and uncomfortable to read aloud. Barriers, thought to repel slugs, include rough or sharp textured mulches and substances thought to be distasteful or strong smelling. Copper-base barriers have been shown to repel slugs in some studies. A recent RHS studyin a garden-realistic scenario however, found no reduction in slug damage from barriers made of copper tape, bark mulch, eggshells, sharp grit or wool pellets Rachel is a writer of words, drawer of pictures and champion of silver linings. She exhibits widely, writes tirelessly and frequently creates slightly unhinged characters. Her written work includes children’s stories and poems, clever advertising copy and lots of other stuff besides. Her illustrative work is a smorgasboard of giant, hand-printed poems, mind-bogglingly detailed gouache illustrations and a cacophony of quirky prints and etchings. The pairing of Rachel Bright and Nadia Shireen is a match made in heaven: both are talented picturebook authors who have created some of the best books for the younger reader.. In this particular little gem, Rachel Bright adopts the mantel of the wordsmith, while Nadia Shireen presents the complimentary images which, as usual, are worthy of much more than a passing glance.Pay attention to the prices as rental periods can vary from 60 to 180 days for most books.
