Julius

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.
