Synopsis: If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it. You'll give her some of your favorite maple syrup, and she'll probably get all sticky, so she'll want to take a bath. She'll ask you for some bubbles. When you give her the bubbles...

Readers will delight in the story of an accommodating little girl who tries to keep up with the whims of a busy little pig. If You Give a Pig a Pancake is an exploration of the scenario "if you give an inch, they'll take a mile" - but who could refuse the whims of this adorable piglet?
