Fast moving Squirrel and slow moving Sloth work together to earn enough money to buy a bicycle. They land a job packing pickles but things don’t go quite the way they planned!

This is a fun, light-hearted read for ages 4-7 years old. The illustrations are adorable and the consistent use of yellow/green carries the pickle esthetic throughout the story. Problem solving and working together towards a common goal are the message of this silly premise.
