When a bus driver takes a break from his route, a very unlikely volunteer springs up to take his place-a pigeon! But you've never met one like this before. As he pleads, wheedles, and begs his way through the book, children will love being able to answer back and decide his fate.

Elephant Gerald and Piggie want to go for a drive, but as Gerald thinks of one thing after another that they will have to take along, they come to realize that they lack the most important thing of all.

The pigeon really, really wants a puppy, but when a puppy arrives the pigeon changes its mind.

A pigeon comes up with many reasons why he should not go to bed.

When Elephant accidentally breaks Piggie's new toy, they both experience intense feelings before coming to realize how important their friendship is.

Piggie is invited to her first party. What will she wear? Her elephant friend Gerald, the party expert, know just how to help ...or does he?

"The Pigeon is dirty and he needs a bath, but he won't go willingly"--

Piggie ruins a perfectly good day by telling Gerald the elephant that she is going, sending him into a panic.

Piggie tells Gerald she has a surprise for him, but it is not there yet so Gerald must be patient.

"Piggie really likes slop. She likes it so much, she wants Gerald to try some! But can Gerald find the courage to do it? Or will the smell alone be too much to handle?"--
