Friends, even those who live together, can be very different. Such is the case with pigs, Toot and Puddle. Toot wants to see the world; Puddle likes to stay at home in Woodcock Pocket.(Woodcock Pocket: I love saying that aloud. So satisfying in the mouth).
Holly Hobbie's pictures are stunning, which is why I fell in love with these darling pigs. Their understanding of the sorts of differences we find in each other - and embrace - is a lovely picture of friendship for young children.
I fell for her earlier books - before they became more brightly colored and eventually a tv series. I will advocate for the originals as my favorites by far.
