Synopsis:

Having lived an adventurous life, Pickle is excited to join up with Penguin who, bored with Antarctica, is looking for a change, but after the two reach New York City and accidentally get separated, the new friends must rely on the residents of the city, including Lady Liberty, to reunite them once again.

Reviews: Kindergarten-Grade 3 - The only talking pickle in the world has his own talk show and looks a lot like David Letterman, but he's lonely. For a special show, he takes a trip to Antarctica and meets a solitary penguin. The two sail up the coast of South America and into New York Harbor. In the city, Pickle loses his friend. While he searches for him, Penguin follows odd creatures (people) throughout the city and even asks a bunch of pickles in a tub at a market if they know where Pickle is. Then he finds the Statue of Liberty and climbs up into her crown. Pickle comes to the rescue in a blimp, and the story ends happily. Clever, cartoon illustrations contain amusing details, such as a green limousine with a bespectacled pickle as a hood ornament, a blimp that looks like a pickle, and a winking Lady Liberty. Some kids may chuckle at this story; others may find it simply silly. - Debbie Stewart Hoskins, Grand Rapids Public Library, MI
