Book Synopsis

One good turn deserves another - and another - in this universal tale about the contagiousness of being kind.

Hen gives Pig an unexpected present. "How kind!" says Pig. Pig is so touched, in fact, that he decides to do something kind too. So Pig gives Rabbit a gift. "How kind!" says Rabbit, who does something kind for Cow, who is kind to Cat, who wants to be kind in turn. Where will all of this kindness lead?

With electric-bright colors enhancing the simplest of words and pictures, Mary Murphy shows the youngest of children that what goes around comes around - especially when it starts with a generous heart.
