Lollipop is no ordinary pig. According to her young trainer, Johnny Skinner, she's the smartest pig in the entire kingdom. When people stare into Lollipop's bright, intelligent eyes, it somehow changes them for the better. But can Lollipop win over the spoiled Princess Penelope -- and her not-so-pig-friendly parents, the King and Queen?
With humorous black-and-white illustrations by Jill Barton, Dick King-Smith's tale about a special pig -- and some memorable humans, too -- will delight his legions of loyal fans!
