Pigs to the Rescue

Pigs to the Rescue: A Picture Book by John Himmelman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Farmer Greenstalk's pigs are eager to follow in the chickens' footsteps and save the day...but they aren't quite as successful in their efforts, which makes for some hilarious illustrations. The spirited swine romp through the week with more enthusiasm than sense: plowing furrows deep enough to stand up in, drenching the flower garden down to bare stalks, ripping a kite out of a tree, waking the neighborhood with a cacophony of squeals and oinks, tying on a shoe with a cocoon of rope and ribbon, and sending the duck on a birthday balloon ride. When the cat spills her milk, the family warns, "Don't let the pigs know!"

...Cows to the rescue!
