Snippet, the youngest snail in his family, likes to wake up early. He is bored without his family to play with, until he finds other early-riser friends to keep him entertained. Together, the friends and Snippet gently wake up his family with breakfast in bed. The family plays together all day until they notice Snippet has fallen asleep.

Short sentences, basic vocabulary and bright pictures make this book ideal for readers between the age of two and five.
