PS
Besties Big and Little have diametrically opposed personalities. That Big is an elephant and Little a mouse isn't mind-blowing, but Garland flips expectations by making Big timid and Little brave, Big a nibbler and Little a gourmand, etc. Through succinct rhymes and painterly art, Garland makes the larger (and smaller) point that a real friend doesn't expect you to change.
