My 1st grader has always been big on animals, and pigs in particular seemed to be a favorite. So of course I brought this book home for us to read together.

Kids liked it well enough. I liked it more. Mrs. Hogget is freaking hilarious, but my kids didn't really get the humor until I explained in detail to them why I was cracking up.

Such an uplifting story. Being set in England and all about sheep dog, and their job. It is a great tale for geography and pleasant reading!
