Children's Literature
A tiny porker loves spending time with his bespectacled, "soft and squishy" Granny because she's as "lively as a family of leaping frogs." So when she fails to arrive for a visit, Piglet sets out to look for her. Along the way, he shows the skills Granny has taught him—balancing, somersaulting, hiding—to various neighboring animals. When Granny finally shows up, Piglet decides the wait has been worth the surprise she shares: a mudslide, with a whole new slippy-slithery skill to enjoy together. The language and watercolor illustrations are as kid-friendly as Granny herself—a senior citizen who's a playful child at heart. Reviewer: Mary Quattlebaum
