****

Piggy and his human have been inseparable since his human was a baby. As best friends, they do everything together: from sleeping to eating to playing. But as the years go by, and many washing machine baths later, Piggy goes from a plump, perky, and pink plush toy to a well-beloved, worn-in treasure.

From bestselling author Ann Hood and illustrated by Anna Quaranta, this charming picture book celebrates the everlasting friendship between human and stuffed animal.
