Three amusing outings feature Poppleton pig and his friends. In the first, Poppleton can't enjoy looking at the stars because the vast sky makes him dizzy, but his friend Hudson solves the problem. In the second, Poppleton decides it is time to replace his bed and he gives the poor saleslady a real workout. The final outing has Poppleton out for a sail with his friend Fillmore, but he really can't seem to relax. Early readers will find humor in these pleasant stories and should have a real sense of accomplishment when they finish them.
