Slow Moe is a cute book that is a great fit for kids who have siblings. The illustrations are beautiful and bright, and the book has a fun, airy feel to it. The main device of the story is that a little girl's brother is an annoying "snail" because he takes his time eating breakfast, walking to school, etc. However, he turns into a fun, energetic human brother when adults and obligations aren't around! It might be a bit difficult for really young kids to initially "get" the metaphor of the brother being a snail, but it's a good lesson about patience and tolerance. Personally, I found the transition from snail-brother to human-brother a bit clunky. I had to read through it twice to clearly understand the flow of the story. But, it's a sweet story with excellent artwork.
