Review
"Jeschke’s pencil drawings are rough-hewn and pithy, their homely figures at once distinctive and endearing." --Booklist

An wonderful story about a small pig with big dreams.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Perfect the Pig (Reading Rainbow Book) (Paperback)
"Perfect the Pig," is a story about a pig who rises from a lowly birth and sees its dreams come true. The relationship between Perfect and his guardian Olive is lovely. Young children I know who have read this book have simply adored it, even the tenth or twelfth time.

A Favorite of My Now-20 year Old Daughter,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Perfect the Pig (Reading Rainbow Book) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book that was read over and over and (need I say) over again to my 3 year old daughter once upon a time. Our copy finally fell apart from all the "loving" it took. My daughter is now 20 years old and a sophomore in college and in an early childhood ed program. I am so excited to have found that I can still get this book to surprise her!

Read this when I was a child. Loved it.,

This review is from: Perfect the Pig (Reading Rainbow Book) (Paperback)
I have been trying to figure out what the name of this book was for years. Little did I know, I could have saved a lot of time by doing a quick Google search.
This is a magical story that children, as well as their parents, will love. I remember watching the special on Reading Rainbow, and then running off to the library to check out the book. I'd recommend this to any child, or child at heart.
