Lady Lollipop by Dick King-Smith illustrated by Jill Barton*

Spoiled Princess Penelope wants a pig for her birthday.  Of course, the King and Queen indulge her and ask everyone in the kingdom who has a pig to bring it to the castle so the princess can have her choice.  She picks unlikely pig, Lollipop.  Lollipop and her owner, Johnny Skinner, find themselves living at the castle with some daunting tasks-to train the princess to be nicer and to convince the Queen that Lollipop should be able to live in the castle.
Johnny Skinner is an admirable character who is very clever!
A delightful read!
*Highly recommend.
