Description
Will a pristine piglet find perfection in Paris?

Piglette can be a bit particular by her siblings' standards. She always wants everything to be perfect. While her many brothers and sisters like rolling in the mud, Piglette prefers pampering in a mud bath. While her siblings eat slop, Piglette prefers pastries. But what she's most passionate about is flowers. She loves to smell the lilies and lilacs in the pasture. So Piglette decides her precise nose is destined for the perfume shops of Paris!

But Piglette soon realizes that there's nothing more precious than the pleasant scents of home, and she finds a way to bring a little Parisian perfection back where she belongs. Debut author Kateyln Aronson and #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Eva Byrne have created an unforgettable, playful piglet who stays true to herself and the message that home is where the heart is.

        Piglette was born on a farm in France but dreams for something more. Declared "Perfection!" by her mother at birth, Piglette seeks out Parisian delights in Aronson's cheery debut. Born after three brothers and three sisters, Piglette stands out in her family because "nothing piggish seemed to please her." She doesn't like slop and prefers pampering over playing in the mud. Her favorite place on the farm is a beautiful pasture filled with sweet-smelling flowers such as lilies, lilacs, lavender, and roses. Lush language and soft pastel illustrations bring this heavenly setting to life. When Piglette realizes farm life is not for her, she hitches a ride on a "pungent pickup" full of flowers and moves to Paris to begin anew. In Paris, she might be a poet or a painter or a pastry chef, but what really draws her in is the magic of smells--leading her to a perfumery. Piglette's journey abounds with alliteration: "They pampered Piglette like a princess." When Piglette grows homesick, she leaves behind the city she has come to love and journeys home, but she finds a way to bring a dash of Paris to the pasture. Accompanied by pleasant, warm cartoons depicting family, friendship, and a little adventure, Piglette's story is a joyful one that also makes for an amusing read-aloud. A sweet, lighthearted tale of a piglet discovering where she belongs. (Picture book. 3-6)

        Preschool-G Farm life never appealed to Piglette, the seventh and smallest of the litter. With great alliteration, she trades slop, mud baths, and other piggy pursuits for spa treatments and pastures full of posies, until one day, a pungent pickup piqued her curiosity. The pickup is full of flowers bound for Paris. She packs her bags and climbs aboard. Once in Paris, her highly developed sense of smell lands her a job at a perfumery. She meets poets, painters, and pianists, and is pampered like a princess. All is perfection for a time. But eventually she misses the countryside and her family and returns home, where she then misses her friends in Paris. Piglette solves the problem by throwing a party and bringing a bit of Paris to the pasture. Pinks and greens dominate the lush, full-bleed illustrations. Richly detailed, expressive cartoon illustrations capture the pigs' personalities and surroundings. Hand this crowd-pleaser to fans of Ian Falconer's Olivia (2000) and Jane O'Connor's Fancy Nancy (2006). A solid purchase for most collections.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
