Product Description
by Rita Meade (Author), Olga Stern (Illustrator)
A very particular little pig discovers the joys that come with getting messy in this sweet and silly debut picture book.
Edward the pig never pets friendly dogs on the street. He never, ever eats food that spills or splatters. And he never, ever, EVER uses markers or glue sticks or paint. They are just too messy. But what happens when--GLOOP!--a big tub of paint falls on Edward's perfectly neat little head? Well, it might just turn out that getting messy has its upsides, too. After all, even particular pigs can clean up afterward.Author Biography
