This looks delightful! I also have a snail PB in progress... :-)
This sounds like a fun and unique story. I read the synopsis with my seven-year-old daughter who's curious to find out what wishes Oscar's granted. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for the mention Kristi. We are so glad that you are helping us spread the word...
