3 books about a beguiling snail named Simpson
It started with "The Ups and Downs of Simpson Snail", originally published as an Easy-to-Read by Dutton on September 1, 1987. (He actually made a cameo in "Talester the Lizard" in 1982.) Then, in 1992, "Simpson Snail Sings" hit the shelves. Each book shares four stories of this modest mollusk and his dear friends.
Fast forward to 2025: I combined the two books in the "Simpson Snail Treasury", bringing together all 8 stories. All 3 books are now available via Little Cricket Press!
