(3) K-3 Illustrated by Poly Bernatene. A piglet is mistakenly switched for a newborn princess. Believing a fairy has transformed their daughter, the king and queen raise the pig as a princess while a poor, loving farmer raises the real princess. The story, with its references to other tales ("Sleeping Beauty," "Thumbelina," "The Frog Prince") and deliciously absurd turns, reminds readers that wealth and advantage don't equal self-worth.
