Pig and Crow

36 pp. | Holt | May, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-5863-X $$16.95
(2) K-3 Crow trades a series of three "magic" items for lonely Pig's baked goods. Magic seeds grow into nonmagic pumpkins. A magic worm changes into a butterfly and, heartbreakingly for Pig, flies away. Finally, Crow brings a magic egg, which hatches into a companionable goose. While the illustrations may be overly precious, the original and engaging plot is built around natural wonders of genuine interest to young children.
