In a quirky, clever, and heartwarming picture book from the beloved author of Henny, Peddles the pig is on a mission to make his dreams come true with the help of his porcine pals.

Peddles is tired of being the same old pig—he wants to be different.

He wants to stop doing the usual pig things like oinking and sleeping. He’d much rather stand, climb, and dance! And Peddles finally gets his chance when he bumps into a pile of shoes and finds a pair of red boots that fits just right! But as soon as Peddles tries them on, he falls on his back and can’t get up! Until his special friends come along and show him how to make his dreams come true!

Review

Stantonfollows Henny with another gently funny tale of a barnyard outsider. Peddles, apale pink pig, dreams of bringing civilization to his brethren. Stanton drawsvignettes of the other pigs “grunting and rooting and wallowing and…” (youguessed it—pooping, graphically). Peddles “thought about the usual pig thingsdifferently,” writes Stanton as she shows him fantasizing about speaking actualwords (“Howdy!”), bathing in a tub, and sitting on a toilet with a newspaper.The sight of a hoedown gives Peddles a new idea—he wants to dance! His attemptsto walk in a pair of discarded cowboy boots might have led his fellow pigs tomake fun of him. Instead, they help him stand, then try on some footwear oftheir own. Peddles is an eccentric, but he can also be understood as a stand-infor a child starting down the road toward adulthood, trying on big shoes anddreaming about doing grown-up things. He’s easy to love, and his porcinecompanions seem like the nicest of friends—even if they aren’t toilet-trained. -- Publisher's Weekly ― October 5, 2015

From the Inside Flap

"Peddles was a pig who saw things his own way. Where most pigs were happy with the pig trough, Peddles wanted pizza. He dreamed of flying like a bird or hopping like a frog. Then one night he saw it . . . . Now Peddles had a dream. A big dream. And a plan to make it happen."
