About This Book

A young, undersized pig driven by an enormous appetite moves from household frustrations to outdoors exploration in a series of gentle, comic episodes. After mealtime reforms, he squeezes through a loose board to roam orchards and fields, meets hens, a muley cow, a crow, a jay, a mouse and a dog, faces mishaps, fears, and a curious bear, and becomes stuck, locked out, and involved in neighborly schemes. Each adventure blends humor, small dangers, and problem-solving, leading him back home with greater confidence and growth.
