My Pet Pig

Greg names the pig Max and quickly learns that caring for him is not always easy. Max needs warmth, milk, patience, and attention. He becomes part of Greg's daily life, sleeping near the wood stove, riding in a bicycle basket, visiting school for pet day, and eventually going to the Shawano County Fair. As Max grows, so does Greg's understanding of responsibility, compassion, and love. But when a storm damages Max's pen and Max disappears, Greg has to face the fear of losing his best friend. Inspired by the author's own childhood memories, My Pet Pig is a gentle, honest children's story about rural life, family, animals, and the lessons young people learn when they care deeply for someone else. It is a story for readers who love animals, farm stories, and heartfelt books about friendship, responsibility, and growing up.
