Porkelia: A Pig's Tale

64 pp. | Charlesbridge/Mackinac | February, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-1-934133-28-6 $9.95
(4) K-3 Porkelia is in the dumps until the Wise One tells her she's "destined to be / the first piggy Rockette!" After years of struggle, Porkelia fulfills her destiny and wins fame and fortune. Though the follow-your-dreams message is child-aimed, the humor and vocabulary are more adult than kid-friendly. Unfussy illustrations of the pink piglet in various costumes may entertain readers.
