Fun and playful story by Margaret Wise Brown, best-selling author of the children's classics Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny. Peter wants a perfect little pig for a pet. Not a bad little pig, and not... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I love this book! Every child I've ever read it to loves this book. It is sweet and playful, while reminding kids and grown-ups alike that nobody is perfect and nobody can be all good or all bad all of the time. This is the perfect story for any preschool age child and the grown-ups who love them. If only it were readily available. Every time I need a gift for a small child, I think of this book and go searching, but it is never available in stores or online. I hope they rerelease it one day; I'll buy a copy for every child I know.
TERRIFIC READ-ALOUD BOOK WITH GREAT ART

Margaret Wise Brown was such a talented author. This story is my 3yo daughter's current favorite. I like it because it shows that not everyone (or every pig) is perfect and that's just how Peter likes it. It's a fun book to read aloud and Dan Yaccarino's illustrations make it a colorful adventure. After finding this book, I have begun to explore even more of Brown's work beyond Goodnight Moon. She's a gem.
