Fiona the Pig

32 pp. | Running | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-7624-2092-8 $15.95
(3) K-3 Fiona the pig and her parents are nothing alike. Fiona likes everything clean and beautiful; her parents are--well, pigs. Distressed by their daughter's orderliness, they try to clean up and become cultured, but alas, it isn't possible. In the end they realize they love each other, and that's the important thing. The sketchy cartoon illustrations add humor to this story of a family learning acceptance.
