A group of frogs are living happily in a peaceful pond, until they discover a surprise visitor: a little pink pig. Sitting contentedly on a rock in the middle of their pond, the pig opens his mouth and says: RIBBIT! The frogs are bewildered at first, and then a bit annoyed—"What did that little pig just say?", "Does he think he's a frog?", "Is he making fun of us?" Soon the pig draws the attention of all the nearby animals; everyone is curious to know what he wants! After much guessing (and shouting) and a visit to the wise old beetle, the animals realize that perhaps the pig was not there to mock them afterall—maybe he just wanted to make new friends! But is it too late? This is a warm, funny, and beautifully illustrated story of friendship, with boisterous RIBBIT!s throughout—perfect for reading aloud.

The book reminds me of others that I have read that are similar in style such as A Porcupine named Fluffy. This is a very cute book with wonderful illustrations, especially in the faces of the animals A simple but profound theme is found throughout the book of friendship, fitting in and acceptance.The book makes good use of water-color, and has plenty of simple words that your kids and read along with you and very delightful group of creatures are found throughout.
