Father’s Day is tomorrow, and Langley Snail is ready. This year, he finally gets an allowance, so there?ll be no more disastrous homemade presents for “his” dad. All of Langley’s friends are off to the store to buy their dads the latest gadgets, but by the time he catches up, it’s closed (he is a snail, after all). Now what will he do? Luckily, the long trip home opens Langley’s eyes to what just might be the best Father’s Day present ever?something better than any gift money can buy.
