(3) PS Illustrated by Gemma Correll. Pig and Pug, two pocket-sized, nearly identical pets, immediately identify with each other, but each has difficulty believing the other isn't exactly like himself. Disagreements and back-and-forth teasing ensue, but eventually a mutual understanding is reached. The minimal and sometimes tongue-twisting text allows the appealing, simple line drawings in muted green and red to illustrate the ups and downs of the friendship.
