Snail is a merry little mollusk in his rusty bucket. Day after day, rain or shine, Snail doesn't move--and that suits him just fine. But when his bucket is turned over, his life takes a topsy-turvy turn. A journey through the vegetable garden with this adventurous friend Ladybug proves delicious--red, juicy strawberries...YUM!--and dangerous when he comes face to face with a gopher, then a rabbit, and an unfortunate nibble on a hot red pepper...

Can Snail find happiness in this big, new world--or will he wish he never left his bucket?
