About This Book
In Helen Craig's charming story, Susie and Alfred, two anthropomorphic pigs, are less than thrilled about a new neighbor, Annie. They hatch a 'naughty welcome' plan, filled with booby traps and surprises, to test her mettle. However, their elaborate scheme comically backfires, revealing Annie's own spirited and resilient nature. This delightful tale explores themes of initial apprehension towards new people, the unexpected joys of friendship, and the importance of kindness, even when starting on the wrong foot. It's perfect for children aged 4-8, offering gentle humor and a heartwarming resolution about finding common ground.
