About the book:
While the other mice like to get into mischief, their brother Toby likes to work. Tex and Teeter play with seeds; Toby plants them. Tex and Teeter splash water; Toby waters his seeds. First he has just a muddy patch of ground, but soon Toby's seeds turn into sprouts, then sticks, and finally a field of bountiful apple trees. Toby grows up and marries. He and his son Tut tend the orchard together.
