This chapter book features an ebullient potbellied pig named Harriet. In each episode, Harriet faces challenges, such as helping a friend overcome her fear of heights and winning a swim race. This is familiar, perhaps mundane, territory, but the writing is lively and characters are full of personality. Amusing black-and-white illustrations are included.
