K-3I Like to Read series.
Young pig Pete is enamored with his new classmate, Bunny. When his other classmates catch on, they tease him, prompting Pete to worry that Bunny will not return his feelings.

The pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations of the animal-populated classroom add an extra layer of humor.
