As he settles into his new, charming house, he begins to explore his neighborhood and build a new life. He quickly becomes friends with Cherry Sue, a very friendly llama who lives next door and loves to offer him treats. Every Monday, Poppleton visits the local library to lose himself in exciting adventure stories. When his friend Fillmore the dog gets sick, Poppleton steps up to help him take his medicine, proving what a loyal and caring friend he can be. These gentle, connected short stories follow the daily routines and small, humorous adventures of a pig finding his place in a new community. It is a warm and inviting introduction to chapter books.
