[Tricia · Rating 3 out of 5]

An enjoyable tale about a young pig who is too naive to understand that he has only narrowly escaped death. Iggy Pig loves to skip, but the rest of the barnyard can't last as long as his boundless energy. Luckily for the rest of the group, the wolf is so obsessed with the pig that he doesn't notice the rest of the tasty and exhausted animals which he could enjoy.

The black and white illustrations are adorable, with the added bonus of a flip through illustration on the top corner of the book's pages.
