Emmett loves pigs. What he wants most of all is a real pig, even though his parents have explained that he can't keep one in the city apartment where they live. But as Emmett's birthday draws near, he feels his dream may finally come true. Mary Stolz's warm story, first published in 1959, is a timeless classic. Garth Williams's original illustrations appear now in full color with help from renowned artist Rosemary Wells.
