Written & illustrated by Berkeley Breathed
A pig's predictable life is upended by a runaway circus elephant seeking friendship.
Pete, a practical pig, finds his orderly life turned upside down when Pickles, a runaway circus elephant, bursts in with wild adventures. From swandiving off Niagara Falls to sledding down the Matterhorn, Pickles' imagination knows no bounds. As Pete reluctantly joins her escapades, he discovers unexpected joy—until Pickles pushes the limits. Faced with a tough decision, Pete must choose between comfort and the chaos of true friendship. Can he find balance, or will he lose the one friend who brought color to his world?
Pete is a perfectly predictable, practical, uncomplicated pig. At least, he was . . . before a runaway circus elephant named Pickles stampeded into his life, needing a friend. Pickles is larger than life and overflowing with imagination. She takes Pete swandiving off Niagara Falls. (Sort of.) And sledding down the Matterhorn. (Sort of.) Pete goes along for the wild ride and actually begins to enjoy himself . . . until Pickles goes too far. And Pete tells her she must leave.
Yet sometimes the simple life isn?t all it?s cracked up to be.
Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Berkeley Breathed offers two new irresistible characters and a heartfelt, hilarious look at the rarity of true friendship.
