Recommended Reading
If you would like to learn more about snails, I'd highly recommend the book Life of the Snail by Theres Buholzer. Though written for a young adult audience, it is packed with facts that are suited for youngsters and adults alike. The book follows the lives of a group of snails throughout an entire year and integrates a wide range of facts with an approachable writing style.
If you're looking for a resource on the Web that's packed with information about snails, I highly recommend The Trail of the Snail by Arno Brosi.
