About this item

In this sweet picture book, two animal friends, a bunny and a pig, explore the world of their emotions as they attempt to put on a play together. Along the way, they must face a few challenges, such as when the bunny wants them to "be sunflowers and sing a duet," while the pig would rather "be pirates on a shipwreck." As they work their way to a successful collaboration, they take turns describing the different ways they act when they are shy, scared, eager, angry and sad. Each two-page spread features the bunny on the left page and the pig on the right, where their words play off each other in rhyme: "When I'm angry I grumble and pout," says the bunny. "When I'M angry, I kick and SHOUT!" answers the pig. A different typeface for each of them further separates their points of view visually.
