Illustrated by
Tomie dePaola.
A boy tells various farm animals what he'd do if he were like them: "If I were a pig, I'd build you a sty. And we'd dig roots and loaf in the mud." At night, he dreams of his animal friends. First published in black and white, this new edition sports a larger trim size and full-color illustrations redone by dePaola.
