There's not much around for Snail to eat. Rather than starve he sets off with three slugs to find the sweet and tasty hosta plants.

Beer traps, slug pellets and nematodes are just some of the dangers they encounter on their perilous journey.

Read this tale of gastropod adventure to find out which of them makes it to the end.

Snail's Dangerous Journey, written by Gemma Mallorey and illustrated by Niharika Singh, will give children a view of the garden that's a bit more menacing than they're used to
