In her free time, she devoured Archie comic books and paperback romances and enjoyed the outdoors. But after taking one college English class, she was, “hooked on great writing… I didn’t know about this part of me until I went to college-didn’t know I loved beautiful stories.” And one night, inspired by the Southern writer James Agee, she sat down and wrote When I Was Young in the Mountains. Named a Caldecott Honor Book and an ALA Notable Book, it was an instant success.Since that night, Rylant hasn’t stopped creating wonderful books. Her stories explore friendship, love, grief, and other mysteries, and often draw on her memories of growing up in Appalachia. “I get a lot of personal gratification thinking of those people who don’t get any attention in the world and making them really valuable in my fiction-making them absolutely shine with their beauty.”She lives with her many pets in the Pacific Northwest.Mark Teague is an award-winning children's book author and illustrator whose books include the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling How Do Dinosaurs... series, the LaRue series, FIREHOUSE!, FUNNY FARM, and many other humorous picture books.

They are a loved children’s series that is fairly popular. I am actually enjoying the fact that Scholastic has decided to release them under the Acorn brand.Poppleton is a fun pig. He lives a simple life and has a nice set of friends. He enjoys spending time with his friends, going to the library and helping his friends when they aren’t feeling well.This book is written in short sentences on each page, which helps to not overwhelm the young reader. It is nicely illustrated so that the images and the story blend nicely with one another.At the end of the book is some added content including how to draw your very own Poppleton. I found that to be rather neat. I am always interested in seeing how the illustrators create their illustrations.I look forward to reading more books in this series as they are released. I also can’t wait to share these books with my littles when they are old enough to start reading them! ### ⭐ Very, very disappointed *by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2019* I got this for my grand daughter. It had such good reviews, I couldn't wait to read it to her. We both asked "Why would the pig spray his friend?" It wasn't funny at all. We were able to talk about friends and how they should treat each other, so in that way it was good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pig moves from city to country; fascinating, cozy book *by V***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2019* It's about a fascinating pig and his slightly overbearing neighbor Cherry Sue, beautifully illustrated. We learn that there's a reason she's been overbearing and all is well when they both learn the truth and become great friends. You cannot go wrong with Cynthia Rylant. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/5720672-poppleton-paperback-october-1-1997](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/5720672-poppleton-paperback-october-1-1997) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
