The End of the Beginning: Being the Adventures of a Small Snail (and an Even Smaller Ant)

144 pp. | Harcourt | October, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-15-204968-1 $14.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Tricia Tusa. Setting out to seek adventure, Avon the snail and Edward the ant encounter other creatures and gently philosophize about life as they head toward the end of a tree branch--or is it the beginning of the sky? Though at times self-consciously clever, the two friends' repartee has engaging warmth, which is enhanced by Tusa's delicate black-and-white sketches.
