Escargot's stories are an absolute must buy for my own children and my students. This was, as always, a charming tale, and the narrator has the perfect voice for it.

4.5 Stars

So I grabbed this on audiobook (it was a choice to chose that format) because I thought my daughter would get a kick out of an audiobook. This was a really cool audiobook because it had fun background sounds. I think I liked this one better than my daughter did. I loved escargots accent and those background noises that truly added to the story. This one I think was like 8 mins which was a little long for my 6 year old. What she really wants is a audiobook with pics lol.

Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for the great read.

"Escargot and the Search for Spring" by Dashka Slater is a children's picture book. This review is only for the audiobook version narrated by Tim Campbell.

The main character is a snail named Escargot. He has a French accent, and it is very humorous in sound and words. He talks to the reader in the first person. He heads outside to hunt for signs of spring. He finds a white bunny, and it takes a while to determine if the bunny is going to be a friend or an enemy.

It is all lighthearted and fun. I had no trouble imagining the pictures in my mind. Sound effects and music add nicely to this story and are not distracting. It helps to listen to this at 1.0 speed.

I would recommend this audiobook for young children.

Thank you to Netgalley, MacMillan Audio, MacMillan Young listeners, and Dashka Slater for providing this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

We love everything ever written about this cute French snail and this spring version was just as cute as all the rest.

We are obsessed with Escargot and his adventures!
We loved listening to this audiobook of Escargot! we loved experiencing this book in audio form and will be purchasing it for our own little library!
ALWAYS recommending anything new with our favorite French snail Escargot!

Thank you to the publisher for allowing us an advanced chance to listen to Escargot's new tale!

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for my gifted audiobook copy of Escargot and the Search for Spring.

Nothing like a dramatic snail to get a child interested in a story. However, I felt as if the search for spring was short lived and a missed opportunity for a teachable moment.

I enjoyed the vocabulary in the story and the use of French words as well but I felt that the story was more focused on the Escargot and the ending was a little lackluster. Perhaps this audiobook just needed the actually story in front of you to enjoy the story fully because I did not feel the spring vibes from the audiobook alone.

With all that being said, I would still read this one to a class and I am sure they would love the snail's funny antics. A great narration by Time Campbell as well. He did a fantastic job bringing the snail to life.

Contains a review for the audiobook.

.This is a cute children's story. I listened to the book and wish I could see the illustrations. I think that would have added to the experience of the story.

I was very impressed with the audiobook though. It wasn't just narration, but there were sound effects that helped the listener visualize the events.
The narrator has the most darling French accent. I loved it!

I wish to thank Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for the opportunity to listen to this book. I am happy to leave an honest review.

This was a cute little audiobook. I thought it covered a lot of good topics like boredom and emotions. I also thought the narrator was very engaging and brought the story to life even without illustrations.

What a cute little book! I have read all the other Escargot books and enjoyed them immensely. This is the first one I did on audio, and it was delightful!
We are most definitely getting the book at the library. I do enjoy the pictures and can’t wait to see the ones in this one. Escargot is such a cute little guy.
Tim Campbell did an excellent job narrating the story, with a perfect French accent. I Loved this story so much.

This was a sweet story to listen to with my son. The narration was fun and engaging. This is a cute series of books, but I think this one is my favorite. It was a great opportunity to talk with my son about emotions and ennui. I definitely recommend listening to this audiobook with your escargot loving kiddos!

"Escargot and the Search for Spring" by Dashka Slater is a cute, engaging children's book about a snail who is bored and frustrated with the winter. I loved the story, but this would have worked better for me as a physical book so I could see the illustrations. Tim Campbell is an engaging narrator but I didn't love his French accent. Overall a funny and relatable story. Thanks to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the eARC.

This audiobook was made available for me to listen to and review by Dashka Slater, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley.

This audiobook is narrated by Tim Campbell. Mr. Campbell has a delightfully engaging and charming voice. This has a high quality production value with story enhancing sound effects.

This is a delightful and engaging children's story about a French snail who is tired of winter. Escargot talks about ennui or boredom and gives options to beat the dull drums. This features a small amount of French phrases which is perfect for kids. My grandkids laughed all through this. The background soundtrack is very cute.

Thank you to Dashka Slater, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to and review this audiobook. All opinions and viewpoints expressed in this review are my own.
