These pigs live a lot like the Amish.
Alfred A Knopf sent me a copy of this picture book for review (thank you). It has been published, so check with your local bookstore for a copy.
Ms. Gal tells the story of a pig family's life. They move, build a new home, decorate it, raise a garden, have picnics, harvest their crops and share it all with their neighbors.
The illustrations are vivid and luscious, the tale is charming, and this would work well as a read aloud book for young ones.
My favorite parts were:
Watching the pigs run in their underwear to swim in the mud and seeing them in bed with their books just before they went to sleep.
I bet your little ones will have favorite scenes, too.
Happy reading.
