A girl and her mom playfully muse about how life would be different if things like apples, worms, and leaves had legs. Wordplay and alliteration add to the silliness. The cartoony digital illustrations are whimsical yet slightly freakish--some things just look bizarre with legs--reinforcing the wacky fun you can have with your imagination.
