Hobart is no ordinary pig. He is a hopeful pig and he has a dream. Hobart wants to tap dance.

But when Hobart discovers that Farmer Mills is planning to sell him to the local butcher, he refuses to give up his dream just to become somebody's lunch.

Mary Rayner's illustrations crackle with warmth and wit. Anita Briggs's timeless tale will charm and delight readers as she shows us just what a tap-dancing pig can accomplish when he puts his mind to it.
