From Booklist
Piglet loves playing with her papa. She likes to sit on his head, bounce on his belly, and chew on his tail, but one day, she bites too hard. "You little rascal!" Papa yells and chases Piglet from the sty. Feelings hurt, she wanders the barnyard, seeking comfort from the other animals. "Do you love me?" she asks each one, from horse to dog. Yes, the animals answer; they love Piglet, but they also know someone who loves her even more. Hungry and tired, Piglet returns home to Papa, who hugs and reassures her and declares that he loves her best of all. Happy Piglet jumps right back on her papa's head, bounces off his belly, and chews on his tail, gently this time. The short, simple sentences have a winning, read-aloud rhythm, and King's sketched ink and watercolor-washed illustrations make the most of Piglet's changing moods, from exuberance to the sting after a scolding and then back to exuberance when she is reassured that Papa's love is constant.
