review 1: Snippet the Early Riser is about a snail who likes to get up early, while the rest of his family does not. When he wakes and wants to play, Snippet tries a number of ways to wake up his family (with the help of a few friends), but does not succeed until he gets an idea from watching Caterpillar munching on a leaf. Murguia's blend of ink and water colors creates a wonderful mixture of sharp lines with soft hues. Most pages contain both large and small illustrations interspersed with text, making the action fast paced and immediate throughout. It is also incredible how expressive the characters can be with just three dots for eyes and a mouth. A fun, creative book and highly recommended both for independent readers and as a read-aloud.
review 2: Snippet is a very... more mischeivious little snail that does all he can to get his family involved in playing with him, but they just do not want to get out of bed. Snippet gets many of his friends involved as he tries to spur his family out of bed. This is a fun little story that many young children may be able to relate to as they wait eagerly for their parents and syblings to get out of bed each day. The illustrations do a fantastic job of supporting and adding detail to the plot of the story. less
