Will Marylou ever see his poetic pleas? Will the lovelorn couple ever find one another.? Unfortunately, his replies keep disappearing, either washed away by the rain, or borne away (in the case of the one written on a hoe) by the gardener. Herbie himself, unsure of the identity of his not-so-secret admirer, begins composing poems of his own, hoping to convince Marylou to meet him. Two poetically inclined young slugs in love! What could be more romantic? This adorable, hilarious, and ultimately heartwarming book, perfect for Valentine's Day, follows the story of shy Marylou, who - being terribly enamored of her fellow slug Herbie - sets out to woo him through her poems, written (in slime) on everything from a watering can to a scarecrow's hat.
