The Pig in a Wig

32 pp. | Peachtree | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 1-56145-197-5 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Paul Hess. When Peggoty the pig overhears some lambs saying she's bald and ugly, she is devastated. She makes a wig out of straw, but this only makes the lambs laugh more. It's not until Peggoty sees a human admiring her bald infant that she's finally mollified. The bright, full-page illustrations of the farmyard animals are appealing, although the motivation for Peggoty's distress isn't fully convincing.
