Even though it is dry in the high desert where I live you can find slugs under moist, rotting vegetation. Slugs are snails without a shell. I found these two library books about snails that are informative and easy to understand for your young readers and listeners.
Snails by Monica Hughes is easy to read, but it is filled with wonderful pictures and good information about snails and slugs.
Snails are part of the Mollusk family. About Mollusks A Guide for Children by Cathryn Sill is a great overview of Mollusks that include the land snail. John Sill has illustrated each page with beautiful life-like creatures. It has afterword of each illustration plate with more written information.
