(4) K-3 Dolly the pig and Jack Rabbit are best friends; they love laughing together and being quiet together. When they paint one another's portraits, though, each takes offense at the depiction and stomps off, vowing never to be friends again. The expressive illustrations, showing anger slowly turning to sadness before a touching reconciliation occurs, are more successful than the somewhat haltingly paced text.
