Illustrated by
Valeri Gorbachev.
Piglet Rufus wants to attend school, but he's sent away. Not until Rufus shows the principal his favorite book and an earnest desire to read, does Principal Lipid change his mind. Gorbachev's ink hatching over soft watercolor adds texture to the art, and the focus on Rufus's small stature and fervent facial expressions will likely melt hearts.
