This book really let me know that such short stories can be funny and appealing for all readers, including adults like me!. I like this story so much more than my children's do. It may be because I was born in the year of pig (1971) or because I have similar characters with the small pig. The small pig likes to eat, run around the barnyard, to sleep, and most of all, he likes to sit down and sink down in good, soft mud. I like to eat, run around my neighbor, to sleep, and most of all, I like to sit down and sink down in good soft pile of comforters. :D The small pig's adventure began because of the farmer's wife who loved the small pig so much and wanted to make his surroundings shiny and neat, which removed his good, soft mud. After running away from his barn, the small pig had all sorts of troubles to find good soft mud. The place he could find the perfect mud poodle finally was, the home, sweet home he lived with the farmer and his wife. I read this story so many times even without children around me because this story makes me happy and satisfied. :)
