Review:
Is Little Pig, Biddle Pig simply too clean and pretty to stoop to mud-pool romps? After all, she is "Sweet as alfalfa / And grand as a queen." Conflicted by her desire to remain pink and glossy or to join those "wiggily wallowers" in the muck, lonely Little Pig grows more and more unhappy. Will she keep her snout up in the air just to avoid the muddy swine, or can this regal piglet get over herself and revel in the "glorious slop"?

David Kirk, creator of the Miss Spider and Little Miss Spider series, as well as the Biddle Books sequence (Little Bird, Biddle Bird, etc.), applies his unusual and striking style to great effect in this tiny tale. Every two-page spread shows a shiny full-bleed image of deliriously happy, filthy pigs or our posy pink heroine on one side, with a rhyming verse on the other, along with various clean critters shying away from the splashing mud. The momentum builds and children will keep turning pages to find out the answer--will she or won't she? And the heavenly sludgy coolness when she finally does succumb to the pleasure (come on, you knew she would)--is almost palpable. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

About the Author:
The uncommonly unique imagination of David Kirk has an equally uncommon source. "I found a small copy of The Gnomes' Almanac by a little-known Viennese author Ida Bohtta Morpugo. It was a cutout book simply subtitled: A Book for Children. In it, the pictures and verse about bugs, butterflies, and mice really came to life." That got him drawing and writing. Before that he made children's toys by hand. "I love making stories. The bookmaking process is a liberation for me from the years I toiled to produce handmade items. I think the life of a children's book author is bliss." Kirk lives in upstate New York, with his wife and three daughters.
