Illustrated by
G. Brian Karas.
Two short chapters, each containing less than fifty words, describe the activities of a couple of friends. The first is a simple rhyme about apple-picking. In the second, one friend surprises the other with a snail found on the garden path. In textbook fashion, the pleasantly illustrated beginning reader also includes questions to consider and two superfluous activities.
