Little Pig is back in Little Pig Saves the Ship! When the sea-faring pigs go a-sailing! Intrepid Little Pig — still the littlest pig in the family — is too little to go to summer camp with his older brothers and sisters. He is left behind with Grandpa and Poppy. Little Pig and Poppy make and sail a toy ship all week, but on Saturday a gusty wind takes the ship into the current, and Little Pig has to use his newfound knot-tying skills to save the day.

A sweetly told intergenerational story about how even the littlest can make a big difference.
Little Pig wished he could go to sailing camp with his brothers and sisters,
 
[Sally: This is going to be the best summer yet.]

[Peter: I’m bringing my camera.]
[Margie: I’m bringing my guide to aquatic life, in case we see any.]
 
 
but he was too little.
