Hilda the pig is happy to be predictable. A baby who lives in the village is so unpredictable that he is known as "the runaway baby." When the two meet, they develop a friendship that bonds them despite their different species and their different approaches to certainty.
While this story is cute enough, it lacks the spark to make it stand-out in any memorable way. In short, my response to it, no matter how many times I read it, was a resounding "meh." Alas, life is too short and library budgets too small for forgettable stories.
