Meet Bently-one remarkable pig; and Daisy-the chick who loved him. Celebrate unlikely friends in this charming, funny picture book by author-illustrator Paige Keiser.

Like all pigs, Bently loves to play in the mud, eat slop . . . and do crossword puzzles! But Bently is the only pig on Sunset Farm, which means there's no one to share his favorite things.

One day, a lonely Bently hears an oink and discovers an unexpected companion-a chick named Daisy. Soon an extraordinary friendship blossoms. But what happens when a best friend grows and changes? As young Daisy becomes like the other full-grown chickens, Bently is surprised with the most caring gift of all.

Fans of Stick & Stone and Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type will cherish this tale about the power of true friendship.
