Pig is lonely so he bakes a lot to brighten his day: one day he trades a cake for magic seeds which Crow says will dispel loneliness. But Crow's magic doesn't seem to work for him. Repeated attempts finally bring results in this whimsical story for kids with reading skills.
A sweet, sweet book!

As the volunteer librarian at my children's elementary school, I was recently given two hundred dollars to buy picture books for the school library. Pig and Crow was one of the books I chose. The illustrations are charming, the language is simple and strong, and the message is tender and heartwarming without being sappy. After buying the book for the library, I am buying a copy for myself so that I, too, can own Pig and Crow. (My eight-year-old twins also enjoyed it!)
