Pete is a perfectly predictable, practical, uncomplicated pig. At least, he was . . . before a runaway circus elephant named Pickles stampeded into his life, needing a friend. Pickles is larger than life and overflowing with imagination. She takes Pete swandiving off Niagara Falls. (Sort of.) And sledding down the Matterhorn. (Sort of.) Pete goes along for the wild ride and actually begins to enjoy himself . . . until Pickles goes too far. And Pete tells her she must leave. Yet sometimes the simple life isn't all it's cracked up to be. Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Berkeley Breathed offers two new irresistible characters and a heartfelt, hilarious look at the rarity of true friendship.

Everyone in my family loves this book. The illustrations are fantastic, and the story is wonderful. You have the 'perfectly predictable practical pig' who doesn't know that he is sad, and the adventurous elephant who brings him out of his shell. A must-have for your kid's library.

5.0 Pete & Pickles - Berkeley Breathed
It's marvelous, but the pig-and-elephant friend territory sort of seems like Mo Willem's. Love the dust jacket showing the daughter's original sketch.Moral: Even elephants can be manic pixies! Library copy
