Where is Pig?

A Little Help? On a recent trip to Chicago, I was window-shopping after a late supper and spotted a children's book titled (I think) Pig Makes It Big on Broadway in the window of a closed store. I made a mental note to look it up on the web when I got home and maybe order it for a couple of FSQKs I know. (Future Show Queen Kids, natch.)

You can imagine my surprise when I got back to the office Tuesday afternoon to discover that neither Amazon.com nor Barnes & Noble nor, in fact, any of the online booksellers I tried had heard of the book. Google proved similarly fruitless. Despite almost an hour of searching, I couldn't find any evidence the book ever existed.

How about it, BradLands readers? I'd welcome any help discovering either the author or the actual title of the book or any other additional information. I'll be popping back up to Chicago next month, so I can acquire it if I decide to then. Meanwhile, my curiosity is killing me. If you know anything about this intrepid pig and his Broadway success, drop a line or leave a note in the comments. Thanks!

Update: The BradLands Braintrust comes through again! Smarty-pants Neale guessed that I might be thinking of this book, actually titled Mary Had a Little Ham. It looks like it's brand new, by author Margie Palatini. Thanks, everyone!

Does it have anything to do with this:

I bet it has nothing to do with this:

Actually, Neale, that first one appears to be what I'm looking for! I guess I had the title wrong; perhaps I was seeing a poster for the book or something. I'm kind of curious what search terms you used to find that. Thanks, though!

I typed in "pig broadway" into the book search at Amazon after spending 10 minutes on google which gave me nothing.

Google failing me has rocked me to my very core.
