Snail Crossing by Corey R. Tabor

A tale of slow but steady Snail, whose determination and kindness bring him the best reward of all: friendship.When Snail spies a plump, crisp cabbage across the road, nothing will stop him, not a speeding car or even a hungry crow. But then kindhearted Snail stops to help a crew of antsy ants in a rainstorm, and he loses his way. It looks like he will never get his treat, until Snail's new friends come up with an idea. An appealing story about friendship and how little characters can overcome big obstacles

Clementine by Sebastian Loth

A story about a snail who, being round herself, loved everything round. She loves the moon best of all and decides to somehow visit it. Clementine enlists her best friend, a snake named Paul, and they make two failed attempts (via trampoline and slingshot) before they hit on a solution. Clementine does not reach the moon, but she's carried far enough out to space to realize that the Earth, too, is round.

The Story of Snail & Fish by Deborah Freedman

Fish and Snail live in a book, and that suits Snail fine. But Fish likes to explore other volumes and reports back to snail, "The new book has a whole ocean, and a secret treasure, and a pirate ship!" Snail's refusal to budge leads to an argument, with Fish swimming off the page and out of Snail's book entirely. Finally Snail finds the courage to plunge into the new book as an attempt at reconciliation.
