Publisher Description
A New York Times Bestseller!
Poppy, the adorable, persistent, dreaming-big pig, has a new adventure in store for her: the World Games ice-skating championship in Paris!
Poppy is nervous about meeting so many new people in a new place. But, ever courageous and supported by her family (Emma, too!), Poppy embarks upon this exciting adventure head-on. She meets a snowboarding Panda, a Maltese who skis, and two fellow skaters, a Crane and a Kangaroo. Poppy begins to realize that although these animals look different, act different, and are from different places, they are all the same at heart. They all smile in the same language!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Poppy the pig, the figure-skating star of 2011's Dream Big, Little Pig!, is headed to Paris for the World Games and worried about being so far from home. Poppy's family and friends offer encouragement before she leaves ("emember that everyone smiles in the same language"), and, sure enough, Poppy makes friends easily upon her arrival. The heroine's parents materialize out of nowhere after Poppy's skating routine, negating the sense of accomplishment and independence that had been building. Bowers's cartoons are warm and buoyant, yet the alignment of certain animals (panda, crane, kangaroo) with certain countries (China, Japan, Australia) draws unfortunate attention to the fact that Poppy, the U.S. representative, is a pig. Ages 4 up.
