About book Boom Snot Twitty (2014)

Boom (a bear), Twitty (a bird), and Snot (a snail) are friends with different ideas about what to do and different interpretations about how things are going. The message is rather subtle, but it seems to be about slowing down, noticing things, and being content. You don't have to chase life down, just enjoy the ride. I like the zen of cute little Snot. The snail name is an odd choice though, given that the book is meditative and not at all silly. I admit, the title is what made me pick this up though. Boom the bear, Snot the snail and Twitty the bird are friends who spend the day together.Why I started it: I loved both the author and the illustrator for their humor and I couldn't wait to see what they would do together.Why I finished it: It was disappointing. Far too deep for the target audience of children... but it would be a good book to talk about personality types; adventurous, nervous or zen.
