Illustrated by
Steve Bjorkman.
This book about Fats the pig and Skinny the rabbit attempts to replicate Frog and Toad's friendship but doesn't quite make it. Still, their small adventures and breezy illustrations will keep kids reading, especially the last chapter, in which Skinny insists on making marshmallow pie with carrots rather than the chocolate that Fats specifies. A recipe for this concoction (the chocolate version) is provided.
