Pig was having a feel-good kind of day. Pig was just hanging around, thinking about his favorite things. Sunshine, rainbows, and the feel of cool mud on a hot summer day.
Then out of the blue came a Pesky Fly,
That Pesky Fly buzzed around Pig's nose.
He buzzed around Pig's ears.
Suddenly Pig's peaceful, feel-good day wasn't so peaceful anymore. Pig needs to figure out the best way to handle it, instead of yelling or swatting . . . that wouldn't be kind! Fly needs to figure out how to better interact with his friends and respect Pig's space, and decides Pig is a good friend to have! Pig and Fly work through their problem and move on to having a feel-good day . . . together!
Includes a Note to Parents, Caregivers, and Professionals with more information on helping children deal with frustration and build positive relationships.
