Kay Chorao has crafted an endearing tale that chronicles Pig's hard work and perseverance in searching for a friend. Reminiscent of an Aesop's Fable, Pig repeatedly accepts Crow's trades in the hope that Pig will make a friend. Each time Crow leaves with a goodie but Pig receives the true reward as he learns about patience and hard work.Pig is an earnest and gentle soul. You can't help but to be drawn into his solitary world. I enjoyed how each vignette showed Pig learning a bit more patience and work ethic. The tone avoids preaching at kids and this does not have the feel of a contrived morality tale. Instead we are offered a sweet tale that ends with the best gift of all; unexpected friendship. Pig and Crow
is a wonderful book for bedtime.Learn more about the this talented author and illustrator at kaychorao.com.
