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

"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?"--

A surprising lesson about the importance of listening to one's inner gosling ensues when a very hungry fox issues a dinner invitation to a very plump goose.

"Piggie is determined to thank everyone she knows, but Gerald thinks she will forget someone important"--

When Piggie plays her new trumpet for Gerald, the elephant decides he must be honest in his response.

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

"Yellow Bird has found a button and wants to share it with Red Bird and Blue Bird. This is just an ordinary button. It does not do anything when you press it. But when Red Bird and Blue Bird give it try, they are delighted to find that the button does not do nothing, and that is something!"--

Piggie introduces his reluctant friend, Gerald the elephant, to the wonderful world of pretend.

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.

Gerald the elephant tries to tell Piggie that ball-throwing is serious business, but Piggie just wants to have fun.
