From the Publisher:
Strange creatures are popping up all over the place on
Farmer White's farm! What is a little pig supposed to do? Does she have to be
polite? Should she just ignore them? And what if they're scary? How can you
tell the difference between dangerous, or just different? That's what Sassy
Pants has to learn when she wanders off by herself in places she isn't supposed
to. But sometimes she learns the easy way, and sometimes the hard way. Which
one will it be this time? And will she learn what's right in time to stay safe?
Follow along with Sassy Pants and Friends, as they try to figure things out.
My review:
Delightful addition to the Sassy Pants middle
grade readers. Sassy Pants is a little pig, a runt raised by the farm family
and then returned to the pigpen where she has a lot to learn. In this tale,
Sassy Pants learns from Old Clyde the horse that a strange new creature has
come to Farmer White’s farm. He’s a llama with a big long name, but Sassy Pants
calls him Mister One. None of the other animals want to disturb Mister One with
his terrible nightmares and strange spitting ways, but Sassy Pants is
determined to help the llama. She learns how when another strange creature
shows up—an English bulldog and his captain, come for a visit. While none of
the other animals want to even get close to the stinky bulldog, Sassy Pants
persists and learns a valuable lesson about not just getting along, but helping
each other even when we make mistakes.
Lovingly crafted illustrations and humor will
add to the enjoyment of the these stories told by Sassy Pants herself.
