Kevin McCloskey is the author of the TOON Books Laugh and Learn series and an illustration professor at Kutztown University in Pennsylvania. Kevin is nearly a snail expert after writing this book, but he can't tell us whether the snails served in restaurants are appetizing because he's never eaten one. What's the furthest he's ever been from attempting snails? Then, when they're done, I forget to add the garlic, and I believe I'm eating a slug.
