Pigs to the Rescue


Our process for picking books to check out the library is random. We randomly pick books off the shelf and check them out. The title or author may pique my curiosity. For Purple Butterfly, it's usually the color. She likes to pick out purple books.

Pigs to the Rescue is one of my randoms, and it was such a good choice. It's one of very few books we've renewed because we liked it, not just to avoid a fine.

The Greenstalk family owns a farm that is home to some overly helpful pigs. Their good intentions never turn out the way the Greenstalk family would like.

This book is fun and funny. It's not a long book, and what it may lack in words, it more than makes up for in its vivid illustrations. There is so much movement and joy in the artwork that it will keep big kids and little occupied for long time as they take in all the details. And they'll just love the silliness. We do.
