    Wallow in fascinating facts about pigs, the smartest of all farm animals, in this new and updated edition from the go-to source for children’s nonfiction, Gail Gibbons.

    From ancient wild boars to modern breeds, pigs are intriguing—and often misunderstood. They may roll in mud when it's very hot out, but prefer to be clean and tidy. And most pigs don't "eat like pigs."

    With clear, simple text and bright, well-labeled watercolors, Gail Gibbons explores the truth about pigs. Digging up truffles, competing in county fairs, grunting and squealing to communicate—these flat-snouted farm animals are complex and surprisingly talented.

    This new and updated edition features important vocabulary, the latest information about domestic and wild breeds, and a page of fun pig facts. Ideal for young readers or classroom use, Pigs has everything you need to know—from snout to curly tail.
    According to The Washington Post, Gail Gibbons "has taught more preschoolers and early readers about the world than any other children's writer-illustrator." Ms. Gibbons has published more than 100 informational titles, including the bestselling titles From Seed to Plant and Monarch Butterfly, all fully vetted by experts. Her many honors include the Washington Post/Children's Book Guild Nonfiction Award and the NSTA Outstanding Science Trade Book Award.
