 Meet
Toot and Puddle--two small, endearing
pigs who are best friends and as different
as different can be. While Toot likes
to travel to places unknown, Puddle
prefers to stay home and revel in the
joys of everyday life. The series is
about their adventures, together and
apart. The books include postcards they
exchange while they're apart and all
manner of fun stuff.
Toot goes to a family reunion in Scotland,
promising Puddle that he'll be back
in Woodcock Pocket in time for Christmas.
But a huge snowstorm strands him far
away from home on Christmas Eve! As
Puddle waits anxiously for his friend,
another holiday traveller helps Toot
find his way to Woodcock Pocket, just
in time.

From Publishers Weekly
Come canceled flights or high snowdrifts, piglet pals Toot & Puddle
will be together for Christmas in Hobbie's latest series charmer. Globe-trotting
Toot, who has been in Scotland for a family reunion (and who has a tam
and tartan kilt to show for it), promises homebody Puddle that he'll make
it back to Woodcock Pocket for Christmas. But severe winter weather nearly
derails that plan. Luckily, a magical heirloom and a certain red-suited
sleigh driver help Toot along. Hobbie's chipper text and alternately cozy
and funny watercolors are as winning as ever. Ages 4-8.
