In the third story about pig pals Toot and Puddle, loyal Puddle and Tulip the parrot try to snap Toot out of a mope. Nothing cheers him up, not five-berry cobbler, not a river-rafting adventure, not a visit from friends. When clouds as gray as Toot's mood darken a summer day, the storm clears the air and Toot's gloom. Watercolor pictures imbued with gentle humor perfectly capture the tenor of the tale.
