(4) K-3 After returning runaway elephant Pickles to the circus, pig Pete has a change of heart and helps her escape. An uneasy co-existence, followed by near catastrophe, brings them closer together just as their friendship reaches the breaking point. Buried beneath Breathed's absurdist (sometimes to the point of incomprehensibility) writing and illustration style are quiet messages about overcoming grief and conquering fears.
Reviewer: David Elzey
