And at the end, readers will learn to draw each character with different facial expressions and emotions by following clear step-by-step instructions.A sure bet for Elephant and Piggie fans who are ready for the next step up or want to make the move to comics.” –BooklistDon’t miss the first book in the series, Baloney & Friends!

Fun premise but there's not much story to it. Lots of focus on diversity and inclusivity.
