The barnyard is all abuzz as Camelia Cow’s birthday party fast approaches. Both Doodle Pig and Peck the rooster have created homemade gifts—one with words and one with painted pictures. When the two collide, a happy accident occurs, giving children an entertaining glimpse into the collaboration of authors and illustrators in which both parties work to tell one story. Mixed-media collage art with bright layered patterns gives the farm a sunny outlook.
