A clever, colorful read-aloud in the tradition of
I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly A fun day at the fair becomes color chaos when one boy's energetic pig gets loose. Upside down, piggy wallows in brown, but that's only the beginning of this cumulative, rhyming text. Soon, he's adding a rinse of red (tomatoes), a wash of white (milk), a pinch of pink (cotton candy), and many more. Can piggy be caught before he turns the whole fair upside down?
With exuberant art by Henry Cole, this wild pig chase is a natural choice for teaching colors and begs to be read aloud.
A cumulative, rhyming tale of an ordinary pig who leaps out of his boy's armsat a state fair and wallows in color after color, turning himself into a workof art. Full color.
* "Cole's porcine hero steals the show: even the fussiest grownups will fall for this eager-eyed, grinning, leaping, prancing, filthy pig. Ewww. And awww." —
