Julius

by Angela Johnson
 
Book Description
In this exuberant celebration of love and sharing, Maya is given an Alaskan pig and learns that friendship is a two-way street. Johnson's humorous, upbeat text rings with its own rhythm as it introduces Julius, a pig with a fondness for old movies, trying on clothes ("anything blue and stretchy") and eating peanut butter "from the jar, without getting any on the ceiling." As Maya shares Julius's version of fun and games, so the clever porker learns from Maya "that even though he was a pig he didn't have to act like he lived in a barn."
