Pig Antoinette is messy and vivacious; her brother, Paul, is prim and cautious. There's not much story: Kerascoët has them take a nature walk spiked with opportunities to showcase their differences. The book has the feel of an introduction to these characters; hopefully, Kerascoët will give them a stronger vehicle next time. The art is distinctive, with cartoony aspects festooning watercolor backdrops.
