PreSchool-Grade 1?Charming pig Annabel, feeling the wanderlust of spring, wants to leave the mud puddle she calls home to find an exciting new place to live. So off she trots, with her mother's blessings, of course. A bird's nest in the plum tree is unreachable; a frog's lilly pad sinks beneath her. While cat's barn is exciting, it's also scary, so Annabel races back to Mama and the mud puddle, just as her mother knew she would. Appealing double-page illustrations in pen and ink, watercolors, and other mediums present the smiling pink pigs and rolling green hills of storybooks, rather than reality. Even the mud looks clean. The tree laden with ripe plums and the mature cattails around the lily pond are out of season, but not to worry. As Annabel snuggles into her mud puddle, she realizes that, in spite of the willingness of others to share their abodes, her own home is the best place to be. A comfortable and comforting story.?Virginia Opocensky, formerly at Lincoln City Libraries, NE

Ages 3^-5. It's spring, and Annabel the little pig is restless. So she leaves her mud puddle in search of a new and exciting place to live. First she tries a bird's nest, but the tree bends under her weight. Next she tries a lily pad, but it dumps her into the pond. Finally she finds an old, forgotten barn, but it's filled with cobwebs, bats, and owls. So Annabel ends up back in the mud puddle where she started, happy in the knowledge that home is best. This version of a familiar theme lends itself well to reading aloud, and the simple, amiable pictures have a springlike freshness. It's Annabel's sense of adventure that makes her an appealing protagonist, and fans will enjoy the porcine heroine's second outing. Leone McDermott
