A Pig Named Perrier

by Elizabeth Spurr, Martin Matje (Illustrations)

Perrier is no ordinary pig. He is a purebred potbellied pig who lives with the Hollywood movie star Mirabella. Whisked away to exotic locations, pampered, and praised, Perrier is the toast of the town. He has it all . . . so so why does he feel as though there's something missing in his life? Featuring the brilliant artwork of rising star Martin Matje, A Pig Named Perrier shows us that sometimes we have to get our hands (and hooves) a little dirty to find our inner pig.

Second time read but I some how missed marking the first read. Gift from my mother in law. It's about a pampered pig trying to find the right balance between his life in Beverly Hills and his needs as a pig.

Sweet illustrations and a lavish Hollywood lifestyle make this a great melding of US author and Canadian illustrator. Cute read...great for prediction!

Oink, oink! Even a pampered celebrity pig needs a good mud bath now and them.
