Introducing Starlight Piglet

Starlight Piglet could have been a horse but he wanted to see further, run faster and climb more gracefully than any horse, so he chose a different career path.




There are several unusual sides to Starlight Piglet. For instance he has an unusual nickname (you can put a guess in the comments below but it will only be revealed in the book).


He is a very keen jumper, but because his favourite sort of jumping is bungee jumping, you can see where he wouldn’t have been happy as an ordinary horse. Bungee jumping is one of those things that horses have no natural talent for. Most of them couldn't even climb to the top of the crane, and even if they could, can you imagine how graceful they would be? Not very! 


Did you know that out of all the horses who enjoy bungee jumping (that’s very few, by the way) hardly any of them are any good at it.

  1. I'm not going to take a guess at Starlight Piglet's nickname (for obvious reasons) but I am very tempted to have a go.

    1. Thanks for guessing Slipshod. That’s not the one, but it’s a neat name anyway.
