Amazon Description

Mr. Carey's neighbors are always offering him advice on how to rid his garden of the snails that eat holes in his plants. But Mr. Carey mysteriously says, "I see it in a different light." Then one night the neighbors see that the snails make gleaming silver ribbons in the moonlight, and the gnawed plants cast shadows that look like lace.

One Potato Review

One of the great - but softly spoken - books about the courage of thinking unusually, and it’s rewards. With illustrations by the excellent and consistently unusual G. Brian Karas.
