Storyline
Percy is a pig who really hates being dirty. He likes to keep as clean as possible.
But his brothers and sisters think he should love getting filthy as much as they do. So they try anything they can to make him more like them. Keeping himself out of their way, and out of the mud, leads Percy into all kinds of exciting adventures.
More than a story
This story provides a clear understanding of the challenges being different can present. It helps both the bullied and the bully come together with mutual understanding and respect.
This beautifully illustrated and humorous book is recommended for children 3 to 8. But we know parents and teachers love it too.
"I think Norman Childes has created a character that many children will identify with through their feelings of craving acceptance with peers, humor component and resolution."
