This is a book about pip finding a friend. Pipp is happy to be alone with no one and nothing. Until something takes him out on an adventure. There he meets a friend and realizes that friendship helps make a big world feel more homely. This was a nice book. It was a tad long, but overall the stories and the illustrations work together while. (Take note, the title may have changed.  I read it as Pip’s Adventure, but I am finding it online as The Other Side of the Valley)
