Mappo, the Merry Monkey / His Many Adventures

Squinty, a brave, bold, mischievous little pig, longs to escape his pen and roam around in the lush green garden—especially the area where the juicy pigweed grows. When Squinty sees his chance, he makes a break for it and sets out on a journey far beyond the garden that's full of surprises, including travels by train and hot air balloon.Before long, Squinty meets Young Bob, who teaches him tricks: finding hidden acorns, jumping across a rope, and standing on his hind legs and marching with a stick like a soldier carrying a rifle. Squinty also encounters Slicko the Squirrel and Mappo the Merry Monkey, other characters from Richard Barnum's heartwarming series of animal adventures.
