A first-day-of-spring picnic by the pond begins a special friendship reminiscent of many classic pairs in the beginning reader canon. In three short chapters, Pig and Goose get to know each other better. While the chosen vocabulary consciously supports newer readers, the text remains smooth and expressive. Comfortable line-and-watercolor illustrations capture both the season and the spirit of the story.
