First sentence: Portly Pig was feeling sad because he was so clean. He looked around and squealed aloud, "This grass is just too green." "I don't think I like it here. It's all so nice--it's yucky." So off he went along the path to look for somewhere mucky! Premise/plot: This pig won't be satisfied until he's dirty! My thoughts: Portly Pig is a rhyming board book to share with little ones. It is a sound book as well. Little ones can press the blue button to hear him oink and grunt. The pages are s First sentence: Portly Pig was feeling sad because he was so clean.

I loved the illustrations - there are extras in every picture, so “can you find the ____” is fun in this delightful board book. It also has a little sound Scheffler, Axel Portly Pig, BOARD BOOK.
