Piggy, You're Not a Duck!

By: Sharkey, J. K.

In the charming world of Old Man Johnson's farm, a little piglet named Piggy is about to learn one of life's most important lessons. When Piggy befriends Bobby the duckling, he's eager to be accepted by Bobby's family. But there's just one problem-the father duck insists that Piggy must become a duck to be friends with his son.

Determined to fit in, Piggy covers himself in feathers and tries everything ducks do-eating duck food (which makes him sick), sitting on eggs (which breaks them), attempting to fly (which causes him to fall), and even swimming in the lake (which nearly drowns him). Through each misadventure, his friend Stu the rabbit reminds him of an important truth: "Piggy, you're not a duck "

It takes a frightening near-drowning experience and a rescue by his human friend Johnny for Piggy to finally accept who he really is. And when he discovers what happens to ducks on the Fourth of July farm feast, Piggy realizes that being yourself isn't just important-sometimes, it might even save your life

This heartwarming tale teaches children the value of self-acceptance and the dangers of pretending to be something you're not, all wrapped in a simple, engaging story that will have little ones laughing while they learn. With charming illustrations and a clear message, this book is perfect for read-aloud time at home or in the classroom.
