Pig and Goose become fast friends in a timeless early reader.

Find Pig and Goose a place on the friendship shelf with the likes of Frog and Toad, Elephant and Piggie, and Houndsley and Catina.
—Kirkus Reviews

An unlikely friendship springs to life with good humor, kindness, and compassion.

In this early reader with five short chapters, emerging readers meet Pig and Goose. Pig is happy. She loves to dance. She loves to eat. But she cannot fly. And she cannot swim. Goose can fly like a bird. Goose can glide across the water beautifully. But he cannot tell stories or host a party like Pig can. Pig and Goose are very different. But what they do have in common is that they like each other. And they love springtime.

Simple text and charming illustrations guide beginning readers throughout the story and encourage independent reading.

About the author

Rebecca Bond

Author-illustrator and designer Rebecca Bond, who created 10 books for young readers, was raised in the small town of Peacham, Vt. Bond graduated from Brown University in 1995 with a degree in visual arts. During that time, she also took classes at the Rhode Island School of Design with author-illustrator David Macaulay and with art professor and agent Judy Sue Goodwin-Sturges, who went on to become an important mentor. Following graduation, Bond worked at Studio Goodwin-Sturges in Boston, developing several ideas for picture books, while simultaneously pursuing work in social services and teaching. With help from Goodwin-Sturges, she presented her work to publishers, sparking the interest of Little, Brown editor Megan Tingley. Bond was named a PW Flying Start in 1999 for her debut picture book, Just Like a Baby (Little, Brown).
