Jimmie Piggy
It was a sad little Pig that took his place on the stool in the corner of the school-room. And when his little sister Mary slipped into the room, and wrote upon the black-board behind him, “Jimmie is a bad boy,” he could hardly keep from crying.
Jimmie was not a bad Pig, and was not used to being punished. He did not like to be teased, either.

I love Jimmie too! I’ve never heard of the Jimmie Piggie book but am going to look into it.
Dear Sue,
I was not familiar with Jimmie either – please let me know what you find out about him – he is now a favorite of mine!
