The story of the little pig who ends up cemented on the sidewalk of a big city comes from the imagination of Arnold Lobel, author of other endearing, simple, and beautiful stories such as 'Mouse Soup', 'Mouse Tales', and 'Uncle Elephant', published by Kalandraka. His work is characterized by the search for basic emotions and everyday settings, with a concise literary style based on essential words that reflect the human condition. An action as innocent and yet as contradictory as cleaning a barn triggers a series of mishaps that turn the little pig into the protagonist of a complex rescue operation.
Arnold Stark Lobel was an American author and illustrator of children's books, including the Frog and Toad series (1970–79) and Mouse Soup (1977). He also authored Fables, a 1981 Caldecott Medal winner for best-illustrated U.S. picture book. Lobel also illustrated books by other writers, including Sam the Minuteman by Nathaniel Benchley.
