TJ and the great snail show - Rose Impey

TJ has a new pet! He's small and brown and slimy and he's called Humbug - he's a snail! TJ can't believe how easy it is to look after Humbug and now all her friends want a snail, too. It isn't hard to find them - the garden is full of them - soon everyone has their own snail and each one is special. One is fat, one is skinny, one is very slow and one is very fast, but along with their new owners, they all belong to the snail club! To celebrate TJ organises the greatest snail show ever. Now everyone has the chance to show off their snail's own, very special talents. The snail show is a great success but the next day, all the snails have disappeared - even Humbug. Oh well, TJ knew she couldn't keep him forever . . .
