Table of Contents

"The biggest drawback of this fun, funny frolic is that the exemplary manners of the proper porker don't hold a candle to the laugh-out-loud antics of the socially impaired piglet-the one sure to leave a lasting impression on a giggly target audience." --Booklist

"Amusing, cheerful instruction for the young formative preschooler." --Kirkus Reviews

"First-time author Allen transforms the classic toe-wiggling rhyme into a pig-centric do's-and-don'ts etiquette lesson. . . . debut illustrator Wolff portrays the pig's tablemates as awed by his finesse." --Publishers Weekly

"Teachers encouraging young children to help create positive group experiences will welcome this lively addition." --School Library Journal
