George Green has written a number of children's books, all of which have character-building messages for young children. In this book we meet Perky, the pig who does not like being dirty. This might sound strange to some who only ever imagine pigs to be flopping around in the mud but, indeed, most pigs are clean animals; much cleaner than one would think. Perky believes that staying clean is certainly important if you want to keep free of germs and bugs. Not all the pigs that live with Perky agree with him, however, and neither does Sandy, the little farm girl. At first Perky is nervous to speak his mind and face doubt from the others, but he soon overcomes their doubt in him and finds the courage to tell them, "Stay clean and stay healthy, so that all of us can grow up healthy and be able to enjoy the good things that life has to offer."

A very particular little pig discovers the joys that come with getting messy in this sweet and silly debut picture book. Edward the pig never pets friendly dogs on the street. He never, ever eats food that spills or splatters. And he never, ever, EVER uses markers or glue sticks or paint. They are just too messy. But what happens when—GLOOP!—a big tub of paint falls on Edward’s perfectly neat little head? Well, it might just turn out that getting messy has its upsides, too. After all, even particular pigs can clean up afterward.

It's a very unusual pig that doesn't want to get dirty, and everyone on the farm laughs at Squeaky the pig, until he wins a prize at the county fair.
