Q: Who lives in apple houses?

A: The happiest little bugs in the world!

The small world of Apple Town, that is. Want to meet some of them?

There’s Luna Fluff, who resides in Pink Lady cottage.

And Percy Polk-a-dot, who prefers his apples green.

And don’t forget Smiling Sammy. B with cheeks as rosy as his Delicious apple home.

It might seem humble, but they do say a bug’s apple is his castle, right? With a full belly, a tasty home and a roof over their heads, these critters have all they need to be happy.

No shops are needed in Apple Town. If any of our six-legged friends get hungry, all they need to do is take a bite of the wall. They might create a new window in the process, but that’s all part of the fun, right?
