Violet and Treacle’s Village Adventures

Violet has made a wagon for Treacle’s fair parade ride, complete with a soft cushion and a flag painted with a paw. But when the wagon reaches the bridge, Treacle won’t climb aboard. At the fair, his busy nose leads Violet to a shiny trail beneath the flag—and to Otis, a garden snail tucked under its paper roof.

Violet wants to join the parade, but Otis is holding tight to the flag she made. With the drum calling and the parade about to begin, Violet must decide how to make room for a tiny visitor who needs a little time. Will Treacle get his ride, and what will happen to the parade plan?

Gentle surprises, a patient puppy, and a wonderfully unhurried snail make this village tale a warm read-aloud about curiosity, kindness, and caring for a small neighbor.
