Norbert was a pig with a dream.
Since he was a wee piglet, Norbert
dreamed
of swimming the English Channel.
While
most pigs are happy to roll around in the mud and eat slop, Norbert is a little
pig with a very big dream! While the other pigs are doing most pig-centric
activities, Norbert always has his dream in mind. When he announces that he is
going to swim the English Channel, the other pigs snicker and snort, sure that
he will not succeed. But Norbert is so determined, it doesn’t matter that the
English Channel…is nowhere in sight. In one of my favorite illustration spreads
of the book, it shows the little pig squeezing into a pair of yellow polka
dotted swim trunks, a swim cap and goggles, and he yells, “Which way to the
English Channel?” With a little help from his friends, he does end up swimming
a channel, and following his dream.
