Hi there, little buddy! Today, we're going to learn about a very special little animal called a snail!
A snail is a tiny creature that has a soft body and a hard shell on its back. It's kind of like wearing a little house wherever it goes!
Snails like to live in places where it's wet, like in gardens or near ponds. They like the rain because it helps them stay moist!
Snails eat plants! They love to munch on leaves and flowers. Sometimes, they even eat fruit. Yum!
Snails move very slowly. They slide on their bellies using a little bit of slime, which helps them glide along smoothly.
Did you know some snails can sleep for many days? They can stay in their shell for a long time when it gets really dry!
Now you know some cool things about snails! Maybe you can find one in your garden and watch it move!
