Pigs To The Rescue

Pigs To The Rescue

PreSchool-Grade 2-During a week of minor mishaps at the Greenstalk farm, the pigs pick up where Chickens to the Rescue (Holt, 2006) left off. The porkers solve each problem with great aplomb. From tilling the field to substituting for the ailing rooster, they create a bit of chaos with each solution. When Sunday rolls around and the cat spills her milk, the Greenstalks hold their breath that the pigs won't come to the rescue. All seems safe and quiet, until readers turn to the last page, where the cows are rushing in with bottles and pans and dishes of milk. Watercolor cartoons extend the humor and complete the story. The well-balanced compositions and excellent use of white space bring an explosion of action, and details provide additional humor. Alone or in groups, preschoolers in particular will enjoy this barnyard comedy.-Carolyn Janssen, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH (c) Copyright 2010.
