This book is a chapter book about the adventures of Poppleton in his new small town away from the big city. Poppleton used to be a city pig but he got tired of the city and moved to a small town. This book is about his new neighbors, the local library, and taking care of friends when they're sick.

Poppleton is a pig who has many friends. He gets himself into humorous situations and has problems he has to solve. This is a good introduction to reading chapter books.

What a great and funny beginners chapter book. It could help children open up and talk about things and maybe help them want to read and help others. A pig name Poppleton lives in the country and has many friends that teach him different ways to handle certain situations that he is going through.

Summary: This story is about a pig who lives in the country. He has many friends and neighbors and in each chapter he demonstrates ways of handling certain situations. For example in the first chapter he deomnstrates the correct way of talking to a friend about needing alone time.
Critique: i thought it was a good book. I thought it would get things to think about how they treat their friends and maybe demonstrate how to talk to a friend about something they may not like very much. I might use this if i notice that in my class students are not confronting each other.
Grade: 2 or 3
