Pig and Cat are pals who like to bike, swim, read, and make art together. One day Pig notices Dog, who has a very interesting kite. Pig and Dog play, and Cat feels neglected and lonely. But Pig and Dog are generous souls after all; and now Pig, Cat and Dog are pals . . . who skateboard and surf! Visually exciting art is executed with crayon and colored pencil on manila paper, in a style that is both sophisticated and childlike. Interesting details in the art add layers of storytelling.
"This short and simple story serves to enhance reader confidence with its repetition in text."—School Library Journal

"The consciously childlike illustrations succeed in communicating emotion and offer many whimsical details . . . A book for emergent readers to befriend."—Kirkus Reviews
