Princess Pig

One windy day - 

during the Picawash County Farm Show Parade - 

a peculiar thing happened ...

Pig woke from her afternoon nap.

She saw the sash.

"Am I a princess?" she squealed.

Goat shook his head. "You can't be a princess. A princess wears a crown."

So Pig made herself a crown ... 

Like many fairy tales, an ordinary girl suddenly becomes a princess. That's many girls' dreams, including this little PIG. 

It is a very windy day ... 

A parade princess's sash get caught up in a gust of wind and lands on a sleeping little PIG. Suddenly, it makes her dream come true.

Now She is a Princess! A Princess Pig!!

Although wearing the sash, not every creature in the farm agrees Pig is now a princess. Goat thinks a princess should wear a crown. Cow thinks a princess should have a gold necklace.

Pig tries very hard to make herself look like a princess and smell like a princess, yet she's not too happy.

She finds herself gradually losing the mud she enjoys, the sleep she desires and the ordinary party she loves ... 

This is another great book I enjoy reading with children to help themselves appreciate how special they are.

Every ordinary little girl should know they are SPECIAL and what makes them extraordinary!
