Follow one piglet as she prepares for her day, step by careful step. Where is she going, neat as a pin? Just wait and see!

With an endearing new porcine star and his signature offbeat sense of humor, award-winning author-illustrator Sergio Ruzzier presents the perfect read-aloud for little ones and their morning routines.

Critical Reviews

***STARRED REVIEW***

"Relying on his signature pen, ink, and watercolor illustrations, Ruzzier establishes a tone of domestic tranquility before upending it in one spectacularly joyous moment; this is an author who wholly understands both children's love of structure and their craving for pure chaos. Get ready--young readers will be clamoring for this book. Storytime perfection."

-- "Kirkus Reviews"

***STARRED REVIEW***

"Delicate ink and watercolor illustrations render each small act with measured, understated wit, establishing the porcine protagonist as a figure who's as orderly as her neat-as-a-pin surroundings. By the time Rosie is finally ready to face the world, readers may feel they know her through and through. But every step in this little gem is a setup for a triumphant, laugh-out-loud turn that goes whole hog on embracing all facets of one's nature."

-- "Publishers Weekly"
