Adventures of Max and Pinky series.
Max and Pinky the pig work hard painting a barn red. When they wake up the next day, they find the barn has turned pink overnight. The two set up an elaborate trap to solve the mystery, only to discover that Pinky is a sleep-painter. Bold-hued illustrations and silly asides add to the appeal of this slight but funny tale.

Adventures of Max and Pinky series.
Max and his porcine pal Pinky decide to play superheroes. When Pinky bristles at being referred to as the "stubby sidekick," their friendship is strained--until Max needs to be rescued when his head gets caught in a fence. The bold-lined pen-and-ink and digital illustrations are populated with animals who comment on the action throughout, bolstering the humor in this slight adventure.

Adventures of Max and Pinky series.
In this colorfully illustrated, gently irreverent, and very slight tale, Ziggy look-alike Max and pig Pinky are marshmallow-obsessed best friends. They love to play together, especially on Saturday, which is "Adventure Day." But one Saturday, Max can't find Pinky anywhere. Where could he be? Max realizes that, of course, marshmallows are involved, and the friends are reunited for more adventurous fun.
