Customer Reviews

So cute . . . and Useful!

The format and illustrations in this book are great. The book is also of use to gardeners. I have already purchased it for two of my friends as gifts both of whom loved it. A really recommended it as a gift for all your gardener friends with a sense of humor. Or anyone who likes cute slug cartoons!

Whimsical, but practical too

Make no mistake, this is a serious informational book about dealing with slugs, albeit with zany, cathartic "methods" mixed in with serious tactics. Where else will you find a slug control guide that is both pratical and emotionally satisfying?

little slugs, big laughs

With its small size, its silly cartoons, and its irreverent advice, this book is as much humor as gardner's reference. Would make a great gift for a garden enthusiast, an insect lover, or just about anyone who'd get a kick out of the crazy ways that author Sarah Ford has come up with to combat one of nature's most resiliant -- and annoying -- little pests.
