Perrier
is no ordinary pig. He
is a purebred potbellied pig, who lives with the
Hollywood
movie star
Marbella
. Whisked away to exotic locations, pampered and praised,
Perrier is the toast of the town. He has it all...so why does he feel as though
there's something missing in his life? Perrier soon learns that sometimes you
have to get your hands (and hooves) a little dirty to find your inner pig.

Reviews:
The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (September 2002)
"...there's a high and entertaining
gloss to the writing."
"...young audiences will relish the book's evident approval of the sheer
subversive pleasure of wallowing ."
BookPage
"...Spurr...shows us that two seemingly opposite individuals can
happily coexist, as long as there are compromises."
Publishers Weekly,

"(Spurr's ) ...
gossipy voice and the outcome provide humor and a twist."
