On (Valentine's Day) Books (Belated)

This is Marylou.


Marylou is a poet, a slug, and she's desperately in love with another slug named Herbie.



Slugs in love is a sweet book that chronicles the poetic love affair brewing between two garden slugs. 


The rhymes are simple but clever and sometimes borrow from popular literature that both kids and parents are familiar with.

At first Herbie doesn't know who Marylou is. All slugs are brownish and like tomatoes, of course, but by the end they finally meet and, as expected, live happily ever after.
