Wolfsnail: A Backyard Predator is a children's picturebook
about the fascinating wolfsnail, a carnivorous mollusk that hunts and
eats snails and slugs. Striking, full-color photographs of an actual
wolfsnail on the hunt illustrate this amazing and educational story. The
final three pages include more snail facts (including the tragic tale of
how the wolfsnail was imported to Hawaii to combat another invading
snail, but ate native Hawaiian snails instead) and a glossary of snail
words. An excellent introduction to the wonders of natural life that can
be found in an ordinary backyard.
