Delightful tale for pig-lovers :)

This is a charming book that used to be one of my very favorites as a small child. For some reason I was obsessed with piglets and Emmett, the main character of the story, shares that passion. He daydreams about pigs all day and decorates his room with pig paraphernalia. For his birthday one year, his parents take him to a farm in the country where they announce that they have bought him a pet pig. The pig will live on the farm and Emmett can come and visit him when he likes. Emmett imagines the future when he will become a pig farmer and the assorted things he will do with "King Emmett," which he has named his pet. Garth Williams does absolutely enchanting illustrations as we know from Charlotte's Web, the Little House books, etc. Great little story.
