Then other improbably things happen, like stuffed animals talking and Piggie's head turning into a turnip. The book has a surprise ending as Gerald suddenly realizes that he is dreaming - actually 90% of the book is a dream - and he figures this out when Piggie starts floating on page 49/57. After yelling at Piggie for waking him up, they decide to take a nap together! Only Piggie has a severe snoring problem. In this book, Gerald is feeling tired and cranky, so he decides to take a nap - only to be woken up by a curious Piggie. They love each other so much and this shines through in every book.

His best friend, Piggie, is a light-hearted, fun-loving person who is brave. Gerald is a spectacle-wearing elephant who is a bit of an old fuddy-duddy.
