Emmett"s Pig
Emmett really wanted a pig -- not a stuffed pig, or a glass pig, or a picture of a pig. He wanted a real pig. His parents explained that a boy couldn"t keep a pig in a city apartment. But as Emmett"s birthday drew near, he felt maybe he would get the pig of his dreams.First published as An I Can Read Book in 1959, Mary Stolz"s warm story is presented here in picture-book format with Garth Williams"s illustrations fully colorized by renowned artist Rosemary Wells.
