Follow a friendly snail's silvery trail as he slides through eight modern masterpieces in search of his own 'snail-portrait'. The book features paintings by famous artists Dali, Pollock, Picasso, Rothko and, of course, Matisse's 'The Snail' ('L'Escargot'). Its use of rhyming text makes it an endearing way to introduce young children to modern art.
