Help me find this children's book!

I remember listening to the cassette that came with this book in the
1980's. The book and cassette came in a (white?) plastic case. The
book was about a pig who is asked by her mother to go to the bakery.
The mother gives her a small amount of money to buy just what she
needs. The little pig goes to the bakery and wishes that she could buy
all of the yummy treats, but she can't because she doesn't have enough
money.

I seem to remember the book being in black and white with some pink
shading. Please, please help me find it!

Thank you!

I believe you're remembering "Susie Goes Shopping," by Rose Greydanus.

"Susie Goes Shopping
Going to the bakery for her mother, Susie the pig is tempted to buy a
cake, pie, and cookies instead of the loaf of bread her mother
wanted."

ISBN.nu: greydanus, rose

This book was first published in 1980, and was reprinted in 1997, but
is not currently available new. If this is the correct book, I'll be
glad to help you find a used copy at a reasonable price. The cassette
occasionally shows up on the used market, but it's much harder to find
than the book.
