My local public radio station carries that show. Here's my favorite episode... :-)

Roch Carrier reads 'The Hockey Sweater'
cbc.ca

As a child, Roch Carrier spent much of his time playing hockey with his friends. And when he wasn't playing, he was dreaming about life on the pond.


Carrier's favourite team: the Montreal Canadiens. But, one winter, his mother ordered him the wrong team's jersey.


"That day, I had one of the greatest disappointments of my life! I would even say that on that day I experienced a very great sorrow."

It's the Canadian story that children — and adults — have loved for more than 30 years. Based on his own childhood in Quebec, here's Roch Carrier's reading of "The Hockey Sweater."

"The Hockey Sweater" is published by Tundra Books.

It helps that snails are hermaphrodites, having both male and female reproductive organs - so for most, they simply need to run across one other snail during their lifetime.

Having a shell spiraled the wrong way would make it more difficult to find a snail to have sex with, but there's a tremendous number of snails in a hectare of land.
