How fun is it that today is E.B. White's birthday, and I have a book about a runt piglet to share?!

Do you have child that loves animals? If so, this book might be a great win for you!

Jasmine is an animal lover. When she goes a vet call with her mother to a neighboring farm and discovers a neglected runt piglet, she takes the piglet without permission and sneaks it home. Needless to say, it isn't long before she is discovered. How realistic is it to keep a PIGLET hidden away from your parents, especially one that is in a life and death situation? When she is discovered, her parents make her call the farmer and admit her wrong doing. The gruff farmer has no plans for the piglet, so he allows her to keep it. Thus begins the adventures of Truffle and Jasmine. However, Jasmine's father is a farmer, and animals, like pigs, earn their keep. Jasmine's going to have to come up with a good plan for Truffle, or she won't last real long on the farm.

HEADS UP- As mentioned above, Jasmine does steal the piglet from the farm and lies repeatedly about what is going on until she is caught and has to own up to what she's done. Her parents make her call the farmer and admit that she stole a piglet. She doesn't apologize to the farmer or her parents and that is the extent of the discipline.
