A so-so story about a young pig who wakes up with spots. The doctor is called and she gives Truffles some medicine which father has trouble persuading him to take. Medicine apart, Truffles finds being ill isn't so bad when everyone tries hard to keep you amused with games and stories and father discovers just how 'Yuk' the medicine is. No doubt older infants will enjoy father's discomfiture and the slightly quirky naive illustrations, though they may be left wondering like me, why pigs?
