Imaginative pictures and delightful story

My 3 year old son loves this story about a pill bug (roly poly). The bug, Hank, sets out and has to walk up a stick, and through a crack and over some chalk art and then finds a little girl who becomes his friend and takes him on great adventures. You can see the "HUGE" world through the bug's perspective laid out in a small area of a back yard. I think it reminded me of my childhood when I would circus-train pill bugs all day.
