One in a series of humorous books about disgusting creatures, ``The Slug`` is a look at the land slug.
It covers such topics as the slug's two pairs of tentacles, one pair for seeing, one pair for smelling (it can see you're a kid and smell like broccoli), its breathing hole (on the side of its head ), and its pretty gross mucous covering (in order to find a partner, the slug can follow another slug's mucous trail.
True love ).
Although silly and off-the-wall, ``The Slug`` contains real information that will tie in with curriculum.
