There’s been a terrible mix-up in the royal nursery. Priscilla the princess has accidentally switched places with Pigmella, the farmer’s new piglet. The kindly farmer and his wife believe it’s the work of a good witch, while the ill-tempered king and queen blame the bad witch-after all, this happens in fairy tales all the time! While Priscilla grows up on the farm, poor yet very happy, things don’t turn out quite so well for Pigmella. Kissing a frog has done wonders before, but will it work for a pig?

I absolutely loved this book. I think it is perfect for early and elementary education. I enjoyed how the story involved other fairy tales (the frog prince etc.). It also shows children that anything is possible. I liked that the book was also repetitive so it was an easy way for children to read and/or follow along with the story. I would definitely use this book in my own classroom.
