An ALA Notable Book.
What’s an intelligent pig to do when he realizes that not only are his horizons limited and his life dull, but the farmer on whom he relies for his grub is planning to serve him up as spareribs? He does just what you would do: he runs away and assumes a new identity — as, of all things, a human. Mary Stolz’s deft style is accompanied by Pamela Johnson’s humorous pencil drawings in this refreshing tale, a long-standing favorite that is now available as a beautifully produced paperback.
