Toto's Apple, Mathieu Lavoie, c) 2016
Toto is willing to experiment with lots of different ideas to get a hold of an apple.
So clever: He makes a fake worm and when bird swoops down for it, Toto takes a ride on the bird's wing. Next, he paints himself so he can camouflage in squirrel's fur. His third try (to get to the apple) is to make wings and fly like a butterfly. Unexpected luck happens when Didi's mom takes a ladder and gets the apple down from the tree for Didi. The ending is a huge surprise...will everything be okay?
