A pig went to the museum. There was a painting and it had an angel in it that came out of the painting. They became friends. I didn't like it because pretty much every book including that one always had angels naked. I don't understand! Pretty much other than that I liked it. I liked the story.

Very cute story. I read it for daughter whose name is Isabelle. She loved it.

Isabelle loves the museum so much that she goes every day to stare at her favorite painting. One day, the angel in the painting comes to life!
