From School Library Journal:
K-Gr 2-Rufus Leroy Williams III longs to learn to read, and he knows just the place to go to make it happen. All he needs is a backpack and his favorite book and he is ready to hop on the bus to school. There is just one snag in his grand scheme: he is a pig. Pigs are not allowed in school, Principal Lipid informs him, because they are messy and distracting and start food fights in the cafeteria. Rufus is disheartened but not discouraged. He returns again with other items that might better prepare him for school and promises to be on his best behavior. "Makes no difference," the principal intones. Suddenly inspired, Rufus relates that his true passion is to learn to read his favorite book. Finally the principal is convinced and leads him into the classroom. Rufus is overjoyed, reveling in every aspect of the school day, most of all storytime, which allows him to dream. With lively illustrations and a determined, endearing protagonist, this is a perfect pick for back-to-school programs. Children will love this intrepid pink hero.-Jasmine L.
