Written by Ian Whybrow. Illustrated by Tiphanie Beeke. First edition, 2002. Margaret K. McElderry Books.
"Little Pig lived quietly on the edge of the woods, under a big oak tree.
"Not many small pigs like reading, but Little Pig did. He had plenty of acorns and twigs and books, and for a long time that was enough for him.
"Then, one day, he found three new words in a book."
Little Pig's adventure begins when he sets out to put the three words together: Wish, change, friend.
