Description

When Maya's grandfather comes to visit from Alaska, he brings a surprise in a crate—something, he says, to teach her "fun and sharing". Maya hopes it's a horse or a big brother. But instead, it's a huge, pink pig named Julius!

Maya's parents see Julius as a slob, but Maya feels differently. She sees a playmate, a protector and a sharer in all that's magical and wild.

This brand-new edition of the classic picture book by award-winning author Angela Johnson and illustrator Dav Pilkey will teach a new generation of readers about friendship, affection and sharing, with lots of laughs along the way.

About the Author

Angela Johnson was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, but raised in Windham, Ohio; the only girl in a family of five. She now lives in Northeastern Ohio in a 100-year-old house full of plants. When not writing, she travels. On one of her trips to the California desert, the inspiration for her first novel, Toning the Sweep, came about.

When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books -- the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants. In the second grade, Dav's teacher ripped up his comics and told him he couldn't spend the rest of his life making silly books. Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener.
