Why do we love pigs books so much?  Because it’s so fun to give them human characteristics and love them in spite of their obvious flaws.  This picture book has it all right: great text and fabulous pictures.

The story follows three sibling pigs who are playing the familiar game of “whoever can eat the most vegetables is the biggest pig.”  The pigs eat the vegetable patch, rolled in the mud patch and brought mud back to the barnyard.  When mama pig found them she she told them all that they did and sent them into the barn.

She followed them in and gave them big hugs and told them how proud she was of them!

I love pigs.
