A magical tale about loneliness and friendship-with a happy ending. "Pig was lonely, but baking raised his spirits. He baked a lot." Crow loves Pig"s 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 Pig"s loneliness, yet no matter how carefully Pig follows Crow"s instructions, they never seem to work. But then one of Crow"s gifts-an egg- hatches, and magic or not, Pig has a friend at last. Kay Chorao"s gentle text and lovely illustrations create a warm, sweet story about loneliness, patience, and the magic of friendship.
