This is a wonderful collection of short stories involving a diverse litter of piglets! Garth, Sorrel, Sarah and their siblings work together to solve problems, sometimes of their own making! Whether they are helping Father plant the garden, driving Mother to distraction with their messiness or competing with each other in field day activities, the piglets' lively adventures are well worth reading. Children and adults will love the charming illustrations of the piglets in their colorful play clothes!
