Small Pig loves to sit in good, soft mud. When the farmer's wife cleans his pigpen, Small Pig runs away. In the city he finds a new mud puddle—but it is not full of mud at all. And now Small Pig has one big problem!
Shelley and her parents learn the most effective way to deal with a miniature boy, who, like Shelley, is not very tidy. "A tiny, troublesome boy appears when Shelley has neglected to do her jobs, and he grows taller when rebuked. He disappears temporarily when she cleans up and is finally banished altogether by hugs and kisses ..." Canadian Book Review Annual
