This talented author/illustrator makes her picture-book debut and introduces young children to two delightful characters and their most unusual friendship.

Clarence, a small pig with a nice apartment in the city, is very excited about the vacation he is taking to a ranch Out West, and about the bus ride that will take him there. But when Clarence arrives at the ranch, he is too late for dinner, he doesn't know anybody, and he realizes he forgot his favorite pillow -- even though he packed very carefully. Things begin to look brighter the next morning when Clarence meets Smoky, a large purple horse, and they become fast friends. But their friendship is threatened when Smoky is no longer needed at the ranch. Will Clarence find a way for the two to stay together?

Jean Ekman Adams's whimsical art and storytelling give these characters a personality that every child will fall in love with. Readers will laugh out loud at Clarence's and Smoky's antics and find a tender place in their hearts for the friendship that is formed between this unlikely pair.

Great for reading with a small child.
Format: Board book
I read this every week from Oklahoma to my great granddaughter in California. The story is perfect for our situation, the cardboard pages are easy for her to turn the pages and that makes her feel like she is participating in the ready. Beautiful pictures and well written verse. We love it.

SIMPLY A TOUCHING, LOVELY BOOK FOR ANY AGE!
Format: Hardcover
This book is beautiful in every way! It expresses the deep, unconditional love parents have for their children. The message could be beneficial for children who have lost their parents or who don't see them every day. Or, it can be a simple as...these are the ways you can remember I love you when we're separated for the day! I purchased it for my daughter who just graduated from high school. I plan to give it to her on college move-in day. Reading it brought tears to my eyes, but it has such a special meaning. BUY THIS LOVELY BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE!!!

Great gift for new moms
Format: Hardcover
We are using this book as the "card" for people to sign for a coworkers shower. It is a sweet, simple book with great visuals and empty page space for signing.
