The Peculiar Pig

(2) PS Though Mama Pig considers Penny "my shining little one," her piglet siblings ostracize Penny, a copper-colored puppy. When Penny's growls make a snake to retreat, the others realize that "peculiar was perfect." The playful, lighthearted illustrations convey Penny's hurt feelings and the joy acceptance brings. This sunny barnyard story has love and acceptance at its heart.
