Pearls is the hottest comic in the newspaper business. -Raleigh News and Observer As the first Pearls Before Swine gift book, this book of frendsheep conveys the unusual brand of camaraderie shared by the not-really-so-cold-blooded crocs. Stephan Pastis's crockydiles say it best in their introduction to this sly tribute to friends: Someone juss says, 'You guys sooo populars. Do geeft book.' And we is like, 'OKay. Whatevers. Just pays us monees.' Den dey is say, 'Make book about frensheep.' And we is like, 'But we ees hate evrybodies.' ANd dey is go, 'But dat make most monees.' So we is like, 'Okay. We expert.' And experts they are, as they show in such an endearing expression of care as, If you is have a beeg butt, frend sometime honesst and say, 'you have beeg butt.' Named Best Comic Strip of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society in 2004 and 2007, Pearls Before Swine has a devoted fan following of crockydiles and humans alike.
If you are looking for a great gift for your best friend, this is it! It is wacky, but will also tell them in a subtle way that they are your BFF (Best Friend Forever). Hand me a Kleenex.

I just love these guys!! I wish Pastis would use them more in the strips. I find the dark, sleazy humor to to funny! This is a stocking stuffer in my circle.

Crocs Rule!

This little jewel of a book is just what the doctor ordered for all of the fans of Pearls Before Swine's looney Croc Fraternity. Just the hilarious introduction is worth the purchase price alone. Another great feature of this "Book o' Frendsheep" is that each strip in in vivid color. It brings the Crocs to life even more. I just wish the book was longer because the Crocs are so dang funny.

I really love the Croc's! They are all my neighbors rolled into one - I think even a few have followed me into work once and a while. The never give up attitude and dogged determination makes for a book that is just fun to give (which I plan on), read and laugh out loud. In these times we all need the comics to see some humor in life. Of course I would like to have the book be thicker, but that is true of all of the Pearls books. Buy this book just for fun - and enjoy.
