Otis!
by Caroline Sand
Otis is a misfit in his family. He's the only one of his family who just plain hates the dirt! As you can imagine, that is no small feat to overcome when you are a pig!
Everyone tells Otis that he'll grow out of it, but he isn't convinced. It can, after all, be alienating to be so different. Then, one day Otis meets a frog that has the same clean habits as him, and a friendship is born!
This is a lovely little story that many children will relate to, and it teaches them important lessons about being an individual and accepting differences. Maybe Otis will never EVER like the dirt, and that's okay!
