( ) Sweet Marylou has fallen in love with handsome Herbie, but is too shy to tell him. Instead, she leaves little poems in slime all around the garden where they live. Herbie replies, but his messages often go astray, leaving Marylou thinking Herbie does not love her. Persistent Marylou does not give up, and soon the slugs meet. Two poetically inclined young slugs in love! What could be more romantic? This adorable, hilarious, and ultimately heartwarming book, perfect for Valentine's Day, follows the story of shy Marylou, who - being terribly enamored of her fellow slug Herbie - sets out to woo him through her poems, written (in slime) on everything from a watering can to a scarecrow's hat. Herbie himself, unsure of the identity of his not-so-secret admirer, begins composing poems of his own, hoping to convince Marylou to meet him. Unfortunately, his replies keep disappearing, either washed away by the rain, or borne away (in the case of the one written on a hoe) by the gardener. Will Marylou ever see his poetic pleas? Will the lovelorn couple ever find one another...? I can't say, in all honesty, that I am a great lover of slugs (although I'm delighted to learn a new animal adjective, to describe them!), but Slugs In Love managed to overcome my initial resistance to the idea of limacine love. Herbie and Marylou are just so darn cute, with their expressively cocked eye stalks, and their sincere search for one another. Their poems (well, Susan Pearson's poems, really) are such fun to read, and Kevin O'Malley's colored marker and pencil illustrations are a delight to view! All in all, a real winner - perfect for anyone looking for humorous Valentine's Day stories for younger children. Slugs in Love by Susan Pearson, with illustrations by Kevin O’Malley, is a picture book for children aged approximately 3-7. Pearson’s fun dialogue, which includes little rhymes, combined with O’Malley’s adorable illustrations make this book fun for the reader, and may cause a change of heart about slugs too!
