Business Pig by Andrea Zuill
Right from the start, everyone at the barnyard knew Jasper was different: "What we have here is a gen-u-WINE Business Pig!" No playing in the mud for him; Jasper prefers bookkeeping and charts. Most of all, he longs for a forever home. But no matter how many resumes Jasper hands out, no one adopts him. Can this business pig find that special perso
“When Jasper the pig was born, the volunteers at the farm sanctuary noticed that something was a little bit…differentMaybe it was the three-piece suit he sported and his preference to bookkeeping over playing in the mud. Either way, Jasper's business sense leads him to tackle the greatest project of all time: getting himself adopted. Will Jasper's charts, résumés, and unique marketing strategies pay off? Zuill pulls double duty as author and illustrator, and her vibrant colored-ink drawings pair well with the text. Somehow, she makes a suit-wearing piglet look confident and cute at the same time. The sly humor mixed with a happy ending will be best enjoyed by those who love Marla Frazee's The Boss Baby (2010). . . . this story about a sweet, porky entrepreneur who brokers the deal of a lifetime could lend itself well to a silly storytime.” —Booklist
