Summary: This is a book to amuse readers of all ages.
Comment: Slugs is a book that entertains children of all ages, including those adults who are still kids at heart. It offers an amusing text and hilarious pictures of the gooey little creatures in all sorts of situations. Not only is it a great book to own, but it is also a great gift for anyone who has a good sense of humor.

Summary: Don't buy it -- at least read all reviews first!
Comment: The fact that children will laugh at gross images doesn't mean we need to feed that appetite. If we do, they'll grow up and become adults who enjoy brainless and base shows like FEAR FACTOR. I wish I had read the negative reviews here before buying this book. Now I have to go to the trouble of returning it. I wouldn't keep it in the house. I find the illustrations unappealing, the rhymes aren't even clever or funny. People abuse slugs, then slugs abuse and murder a person. Some slugs wear bras? Give me a break. Nothing funny here. Just an effort to pander to the lowest common denominator.

Summary: Slugfest
Comment: Oh boy oh boy oh boy. You're not going to find anything like THIS on the market again anytime soon. The incomparable pairing of author David Greenberg and Victoria Chess has yielded a book of hitherto unavailable grossness. Allow me to say here and now that kids have absolutely no problems with this book. It's the adults that peruse it in bookstores or stumble across it in school libraries that find themselves completely disgusted with it. And how couldn't they? Slugs in ears, slugs between toes. The whole book is about the wanton abuse of some very large slugs, ending with a twisted sluggish revenge. The revenge at the end was always my sticking point with the book. I just couldn't look on it with anything but horror. But you know what? That's okay. This book wasn't written for me, and it wasn't written for you, and it wasn't written for someone's uptight Aunt Hilde living in Battery Park. This book was written for the children who like their books a little risqué and a little gross. And to this end it succeeds like nothing else in the world. It's not fine literature, no. But it's funny and weird. Seeing that it does everything it sets out to (and more) I hereby christian this book "Successful" and grant it full accommodations. Your little ones will absolutely adore it BECAUSE it gives them nightmares. And as I've said before, there's nothing else like it anywhere.
