Portly Pig by Axel Scheffler - ADVISABLE

Scheffler, Axel Portly Pig, BOARD BOOK. Nosy Crow (Candlewick) 2016. $9.99. Content: G. 

Portly Pig is unhappy because everything around him is too clean, so he wanders of looking for a puddle.  Once he finds it, he spends the day playing and wallowing and getting dirty.  But a sudden rainstorm washes him clean.  Oh well, back to the mud puddle! 

I loved the illustrations - there are extras in every picture, so “can you find the ____” is fun in this delightful board book.  It also has a little sound button that plays pig sounds for about 10 seconds, so the child can press it again and again as you read the book. (It’s also in the bottom right corner, so you can easily cover the button when the oinking gets annoying).
