The Diaries of Pig is a delightful series of chapter books that have recently been brought to life in full color, featuring the hilarious illustrations, wisdom, and awful grammar of Pig on every page. While we may love Pig (we can't help it), Pig loves Farmer, and he is determined to help him in any way he can. After all, Farmer provides Pig with delicious slops and special back scratches, calling him "Sausage" and seemingly loving him more as he grows fatter. However, Pig doesn't speak any Farmer, but Duck does (Duck is clever like that), and he is determined to tell his best friend the truth. This is a challenging situation for Pig, but he refuses to sit there and weep (although we may do so on his behalf). Fortunately, there is help from an unexpected quarter: the Evil Chickens have a plan!

Children will be entertained to no end by Pig's unique voice, terrible grammar, and super funny illustrations throughout each book. For fans of the Babe films, this is a must-read!

The jovial diary entries of Pig, and the sheer exuberance of both the telling and the imagination involved in the plot, are on every page and are a sheer delight. I was not joking when I said that adults will take to this.
