Gavin looked just like all the other snails - but he never quite fitted in. Gavin didn’t like being brown, beige and boring so he started adding to his shell. He added sequins, beads, petals, stickers and much more until he became the world’s first glamour snail! But the other snails didn’t like Gavin’s new style and insisted he ‘tone it down’. Whilst searching for food one day, the snails wandered a bit too far from home and couldn’t figure out how to get back, luckily for them Gavin was there leaving a sparkly trail behind him which they followed all the way back home.
