Little Oink just wants to clean. But since he's a little pig he has to follow to set standards that pigs are messy. And so, despite his whines and protests to his parents, he has to make a big mess and wear dirty stained clothes. He gets to exhibit his OCD behaviors in his tree house though when he gets to play.
I thought this book was too cute and I like how it dealt with a pig facing stereotypes because of his species (which can relate to any child dealing with stereotypes on ANYTHING). I didn't like how much Mama Pig reminded me of myself though.....
