(3) K-3 This admirable reissue features an incessantly worried gentleman pig. His decision to throw his first party to celebrate National Snout Day throws him into a frenzy of fussing: "What if my refreshments aren't tasty enough?" "What if my dancing isn't up to snuff?" Even after the party is a wild success, Portly can't help fretting, "What if next year's party isn't so good as this year's? Oh dear, oh dear."
