BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Originally printed in 1998. A collection of three stories about Poppleton the pig and his friends.
I don’t mind publishers repackaging older books with new covers – in fact I’d love to suggest several to different publishers that are ready for reprinting.  However – I don’t like them pretending that they are new books in an imprint for younger readers like Acorn.  I think the kids deserve new books!  Lecture over.  Buy this in paperback.
