Such a shame my book arrived all crumpled up. So sad that when posting you didn't put a 'do not bend' sticker. Book could not be flattened out, very sad as was looking forward to sharing this story with my class.

Beautiful book, a lot of fun. My baby grand-daughter loves it, as did all the little kids that I used to teach.

"The pigs in the pond, the pigs in the pond", all the animals cry. And then they all join him, even the farmer. A good story that children love to hear. Whenever I read this story, the children end up laughing at the pig in the pond. The illustrations are great, especially when the pig finally jumps into the pond.

This was not a very interesting picture book for the children I had read it with. We were very disappointed in the book. Overall I do not recommend it. At times everything seems a bit lengthy and drool but overall there was an interesting message which was conveyed. A typical pig has a large head with a long snout which is strengthened by a special prenasal bone and by a disk of cartilage at the tip.[1] The snout is used to dig into the soil to find food and is a very acute sense organ. There are four hoofed toes on each foot, with the two larger central toes bearing most of the weight, but the outer two also being used in soft ground
