Vischer, co-creator of the popular Veggie Tales characters, here offers a poignant fable about how pride can instigate one's fall. Though pigs Sidney and Norman live right next door to each other, they've never met. They also couldn't be more different. Norman is a churchgoing neatnik and a stickler for rules, proud of his accomplishments and charitable giving. Sidney is a messy and rumpled fellow who is forever running late and getting in trouble with his boss. When both pigs get a printed invitation from God himself for an appointed visit, each believes he knows how the meeting will go. Of course, they couldn't be more wrong. But the surprising encounter does clarify for each pig his strengths and shortcomings, and assures both porkers of God's unconditional love for them. Gerard crafts his digital renderings of the anthropomorphic pigs, gamely navigating the human rat race, in a golden/sepia tone, giving them an intriguing, timeless feel. Author's notes include personal insights and suggestions on how to use this title with children. Ages 5-10. (Sept.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Life had always been easy for Norman.* He was, after all, a good pig... not like his neighbor, Sidney.* Rules and systems and schedules - they all seemed a bit slippery to Sidney.* Norman couldn't help but look down on Sidney, and Sidney couldn't help but look down on himself - until, that is, the day they each received an invitation from God.* He had something to tell them.
