When Ladybug finally convinces Snail to leave his familiar bucket, he spends an exciting day in the garden, discovering the delights of strawberries, making friends with a gopher and a rabbit, and accidentally eating a hot pepper. Five illustrated chapters--with pages filled (sometimes overfilled) with color, dialogue boxes, thought balloons, labels, and main text--tell this home-away-home adventure story.

Illustrated by
Mary Peterson.
Two little piggies make mischief on the farm, "under crinkly, clean sheets, / over growing, green beans, / behind snoring, sleepy sheep, / into the clover field." Their entertaining adventures are shown in digitally colored pencil illustrations with round-faced, smiling farm animals. The alliterative, rhythmic text makes for an ear-pleasing read-aloud.
