Two best friends each long to be like the other in this endearing picture-book for younger readers. "I wish I were just like you," they each say, envisioning a transformation that will paint them bright pink or palest white, give them a tail as curly as a lemon twist or as fluffy as cotton candy, make them bold or dainty. But in the end, this rabbit and pig discover that it is best to be themselves, and that it is their differences which make their friendship worthwhile...
