The Snail's Spell by Joanne Ryder
Brilliant illustrations and a short text invite an unnamed sleeping, pajama-clad child into a garden teeming with wildlife. The boy gradually shrinks until he is so small he experiences things as a snail would. The incredibly detailed drawings and the idea of shrinking to enter another world should capture children's imaginations.--School Library Journal.
Joanne Ryder has her own ties to Laura Ingalls Wilder. She helped edit West from Home: Letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder, San Francisco, 1915. Already in love with the city, Ingalls's letters introduced Ryder to the 1915 San Francisco World's Fair, providing the perfect backdrop for Winnie and Miss Drake's adventures. In her storied career, Ryder has published more than seventy books and received numerous awards for her nature writing and poetry. Lynne Cherry is a children's book author and illustrator. Her works include When I'm Sleepy, The Dragon and the Unicorn, and The Shaman's Apprentice: A Tale of the Amazon Rainforest.
