CALDECOTT HONOR BOOK

The Amazing Bone tells the story of Pearl, a pig, who forms a friendship with a talking bone in this timeless picture book by William Steig, the Caldecott and Newbery Medal-winning creator of Shrek!.

It's a bright and beautiful spring day, and Pearl, a pig, is dawdling on her way home from school. Most unexpectedly, she strikes up an acquaintance with a small bone. Pearl and the bone immediately take a liking to each other, and before you know it she is on her way home with the bone in her purse, left open so they can continue their conversation.

But the trip home turns out to be surprisingly treacherous. Can a pig and a talking bone outwit a band of robbers and a hungry fox? In the world of William Steig, anything is possible.
