Stop That Pickle!

Mrs. Elmira Deeds steps into Mr. Adolph's deli and asks for a pickle, and the shop quickly falls into commotion. The pickle springs out of its jar and tries to make a getaway, setting off a pursuit that pulls in a colorful group of characters, among them a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and seventeen toasted almonds.

Everyone joins the hunt for the runaway pickle. The tale moves at a bouncy, lighthearted pace, and its central question carries through every page: will anyone manage to stop it?
