The Were-Pig

Albert takes a Mars Bar from a girl's lunch-box at school. His grand-mother, Nan Tucker, is worried and tells Albert that the next time the sun comes out, his greediness will result in his turning into a Were-Pig (half human, half pig). Albert becomes preoccupied with the consequences of his actions and has a sleepless night worrying about growing a curly tail and developing trotters and a snout. This is an excellent moral tale, to be enjoyed on a number of levels. Ross's lively illustrations capture the spirit of the story.
