- Sammie Snail Does Not Want a Shell by Jenny Baker
About Sammie Snail Does Not Want a Shell by Jenny Baker:Have you ever wondered what it would be like to carry your home with you wherever you go? Not everyone thinks it’s a good idea and in Sammie Snail Does Not Want a Shell you will meet a character who’s bursting to tell you why.
This remarkable children’s book is illustrated exquisitely and written with love, care and a mother’s understanding. It tells the tale of Sammie, the snail who resents having to live underneath a shell and wishes he could find a way to get rid of it. To you and I and to Sammie’s friend Pat, a snail is not a snail without his beautiful, intricately designed shell, but our grumpy friend refuses to agree. He thinks it is heavy, hot and unwieldy and would give his right antenna to escape from its confines… is there anything that could change his mind?
As Sammie grumbles his way to the riverside to find some shade in the summer sunshine, he comes across an unexpected situation. Will he learn a valuable lesson? Can Sammie ever come to appreciate that which he thinks of as a burden and a bore, or will his complaining get him into hotter water than he can handle? One thing’s for sure: by the end of this charming and whimsical tale, both Sammie and the reader will have a very different perspective.

Goodreads Profile PageAuthor Bio:
Rosie Morgan lives in Cornwall, UK, the home of Arthurian legend and ancient mysteries, with her husband and their two attention-seeking cats.
Before she wrote stories she used to read them to her classes – because she was a teacher – and loved it.
She taught in various Cornish schools, ranging from the tiny village variety with just two classes and an outdoor toilet, (together with resident spiders) to large town schools with luxurious indoor facilities.
Apart from getting to know the children, one of Rosie’s greatest pleasures was reading to them. Perhaps it was this that sowed the desire to write a spell-binding story – and inspiration isn’t hard to come by with the wild moors and the sea on her doorstep!
Rosie loves very dark chocolate, having fun with her mini grand-kids and driving her very old sports car….not necessarily in that order.‘The Golden Sword’ (The Camelot Inheritance ~ Book 2) by Rosie Morgan is a post from Awesome Gang
