All Pigs Are Beautiful: Read and Wonder

I love pigs, so of course I loved this picture book! Sometimes it seems like there's too much text for younger kids, but the illustrations are almost unbearably cute so I think that makes up for too much text on some pages. ( )

Dick King-Smith explains why he loves pigs and tells young readers about their habits and characteristics. The end-papers have drawings of 22 breeds you're most likely to see when visiting a farm (in the UK). There is also a simple index of 8 words which would be a good introduction to indices for young readers. ( )
