Pete was a predictable pig that fell asleep during a storm one night. He was dreaming he was drowning while sleeping and woke up to find an elephant named pickles. The clown from the circus came looking for him and brought him back to the circus. Pete got pickles out of the circus and brought him back to his house. Pickles broke the plumbing lines and the house filled with water. The firemen came to the house to find them sleeping and slept till the next morning. They both woke up to pick blueberries and Pete sang.

Okay, I don't EVER put the books I read to my children on my library thing account, however, I have made an exception in this case. This book is amazing. The drawings are captivating and the storyline absurdly great. It may seem silly to admit, but this book made me cry, I want to read it over and over and over...

Do you have an extra ten minutes today? Do yourself a favor, read this book and learn what love is. ( )

Pete and Pickles is a wonderful modern fantasy story because it tells about how a friendship develops between a predictable pig and an adventurous, imaginative elephant. This is not just a typical friendship, though, because it transforms theirs hearts and leads them to sacrificing in order ot help one another. This book will engage and captivate readers as well as teach them valuable life lessons about friendship that will last a lifetime. ( )

I loved the illustrations, the ending was a little odd, Pete saves Pickles life when they almost drown in a house flood. Hmmm... I did like the moral--that sometimes people make our lives complicated but it's all worth it. ( )
