The Good Little Bad Little Pig

 The classic story of a boy and his pig


Brown, Margaret Wise. The Good Little Bad Little Pig. New York : Hyperion Books for Children, 2002.

Plot: Peter wants a pet pig. However, he does not want a good pig or a bad pig. He wants one that is both, because that pig will be the best pig ever. A local farmer appears to have the ideal animal. The pig squeals, makes a mess, and stops traffic. However, he also finishes his dinner, takes a bath, and walks nicely on a leash. Most importantly, he is the best pig Peter could every hope for.

Genre: Animals, Picture Books

Reading Level: Grades 1-4

Similar Titles:  Poppleton, Dragon's Fat Cat

Personal Thoughts: The text provides a cute story from the writer of Goodnight Moon and the illustrator of An Octopus Followed Me Home. Highly recommended for fans of pigs.
