This Is What A Slug Does
Ever wondered how a slug sees without eyes or why it leaves behind that slimy trail? This Is What A Slug Does is a hilariously slimy dive into the surprisingly weird world of slugs – complete with fascinating facts, and one truly creepy head-regrowing trick. The first book in a brilliantly funny new series about the oddest animal antics.
How do slugs see when they don’t have eyes? Why do they leave behind that weird, gloopy trail? And can a slug really grow a whole new head? (Spoiler: yes. And it’s as creepy as it sounds.)
This Is What A Slug Does is the first book in a brilliantly funny, fact-packed nonfiction series that takes a closer look at the strange, slimy… and often underwhelming lives of animals.
Full of digging, chomping, sliming and general oddness. Because that is what animals do.
