The Snail House by Allan Ahlberg, Gillian Tyler
A grandmother tells her three grandchildren an amazing story about three children who shrink to such a small size that they take up residence in a snail's shell. At their new size, the three children explore the suddenly huge world of their backyard, seeing everyday things such as insects, dandelions, and an apple falling from an apple tree from a totally new perspective. Watercolor and pen-and-ink drawings accompany the text.
