A Pig Named Perrier

32 pp. | Hyperion | April, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-7868-0302-9 $$15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Martin Matje. Perrier, the pampered young pig ward of a Hollywood actress, pines away longing for another forbidden wallow in a mud puddle. Epiphany and a happy ending result from his discovery that his mistress puts on a mud mask every night. The situation is elegantly constructed and humorously over the top, while the refined, pink-and-chocolate illustrations add the perfect snooty touch.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
