Bookroo's summary

In a kingdom where pigs are just pigs, Lollipop stands out. Trained by young Johnny Skinner, she's the smartest pig around, with eyes that change hearts. But can she transform the spoiled Princess Penelope and her skeptical royal parents? As Lollipop faces this royal challenge, humor and charm abound in a tale of unexpected friendships and delightful surprises.

From the publisher

“The author of Babe, the Gallant Pig offers another winner with this tale of a bright pig and her canny young keeper ‘training’ a spoiled princess. . . . Move over, Wilbur.” – Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 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!
