Customer Reviews

Seymour is smart!

Entertaining and insightful! It validates the apprenhension a child often feels when starting school then shows the child that things will be ok after all! Adults will be able to relate as well - as the book also addresses the apprehension parents often have about "letting go," and shows parents that things will be ok after all! Well written and well illustrated ... a "read over and over again" book for my grand-daughter!

Good reading skills will lend to this story of a slug who still believes in the Fairy Slugmother

Carey Armstrong-Ellis' Seymour Slug Starts School packs in the author's zany drawings which help kids with visual subplots. Good reading skills will lend to this story of a slug who still believes in the Fairy Slugmother and who learns to feel good about starting school. But Slugmother is proving more of a problem than school itself.
