Pippin the Christmas Pig

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Werner Zimmermann. While the other animals in the barn boast about the contributions their ancestors made to the first Christmas, Pippin the pig feels left out. Angrily, she runs away. She meets a homeless mother and baby, whom she leads back to the barn. The story's lesson about the joys of giving is too pointed, but the detailed watercolor and pencil illustrations give the characters personality.
