Proper mess means a proper pig

I’ve been enjoying the tweets I’ve been receiving about BookExpo America that’s taking place right now in NYC.  I wanted to attend one of the children’s book and authors events, but since I couldn’t attend, instead, I thought I’d share one of the many books that we enjoy– Little Oink by By Amy Krouse Rosenthal and illustrated by Jen Corace.

Little Oink is a cute story about a pig who loves to clean.  His parents, however, insist that “in order to be a proper pig, he has to learn to how make a proper mess.”  As a creative type who often had a ‘pigstye’ of my own to clean, I appreciate this role reversal and  and all around lovable book.

Check out the trailer for the book, too! Read More
