Pig and Crow

Pig and Crow by Chorao, Kay. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780805072617.

Pig was lonely, but baking raised his spirits. He baked a lot. A magical tale about loneliness and friendship-with a happy ending Crow loves Pigs baking, and in exchange for delicious desserts he gives Pig special gifts, such as seeds and a caterpillar. The gifts are supposed to take away Pigs loneliness, yet no matter how carefully Pig follows Crows instructions, they never seem to work. But then one of Crows gifts-an egg-hatches, and magic or not, Pig has a friend at last. Kay Choraos gentle text and lovely illustrations create a warm, sweet story about loneliness, patience, and the magic of friendship.
