Tails & Tales: Pig Stories (Picture Books)

 This week, I'm sharing picture books featuring . . . PIGS!  Here are a few of my favorites . . . .

Ten Hungry Pigs by Derek Anderson
In this rhyming, counting book, ten pigs build a very strange sandwich--until a wolf comes along and sends them running.

Three little circus pigs capture a wild wolf and make him do outrageous tricks, safe in the belief that he would never bite them.

Is That Wise, Pig? by Jan Thomas
Mouse and Cow are making soup but Pig keeps trying to add strange ingredients.

Pug Meets Pig by Sue Gallion
Pug is happy at home until Pig arrives, when he must share his bowl, his yard, and even his bed, but just as Pug is packing his belongings to leave things change for the better.

Ribbit! by Rodrigo Folguiera
When a pig visits a frog pond, sits on a rock, and says only "Ribbit!", news spreads fast but only the wise old beetle has an explanation.
