In this bucolic tale, Alice and Sam spend a day on Sam's farm, searching for hens' eggs, enduring a minor disagreement, and learning a gentle lesson about sharing, cooperation, and forgiveness. Soft-edged colored pencil illustrations featuring chubby-cheeked, blond preschoolers and landscapes rendered in warm browns and greens contribute to the affectionate, reassuring tone.
