Snail Stories and Snail Facts
0 / 9Tell how a storybook and an information book are different.
Book A tells a story. Book B gives information. Read both.
Sam the snail wanted to win the garden race. "I will be the fastest!" he told his friend Lu the ladybug. Lu flew to the finish line and waved a leaf.
Sam crept and crept. At last, Sam crossed the line. He said, "I may be slow, but I did not quit!" Lu cheered and gave him a leaf crown.
A garden snail has a soft body and a hard shell on its back. The shell keeps the snail safe. When danger is near, the snail pulls its body inside.
Snails move along very slowly. They glide on a layer of slime, and the slime leaves a shiny trail. A snail eats leaves, flowers, and other plants in the garden.
Think about what each book does.
Look for facts in Book B and make-believe in Book A.
Book B tells about real snails.
