Cecil snail's trip to the greenhouse takes him up the hill, over the bridge into the woods, down the tunnel and across the ploughed field, or so says the hand-lettered text but the pictures tell a different story. A somewhat derivative but enjoyable example of how picture books can work in different ways according to your viewpoint.
