Description
Flora, a young piglet, is tired of just doing “pig things.” Eat, lay around, sleep, repeat. She tries to rally some of her siblings to do exciting things with her, but they’re tired and lack an adventurous spirit. After Flora meets a cat hanging around the pig pen, her curiosity grows even more. She develops a burning desire to become a sled-pulling pig; and at this point, not much can stop her. Follow along as she faces one exciting event after another. 228 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
