"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!
  • SELECTION
    ALA Notable Children's Book
"King-Smith's sprightly confection dresses up a standard-issue plot with amusing, old-fashioned storytelling. Beginning or reluctant readers will appreciate that the tale is served up in a dozen short chapters, which Barton's...line illustrations mine for all their innocent charm." —Publishers Weekly
