I read this tonight to my granddaughter, and one of my sons remarked how he remembered me reading to him and his siblings all the time when he was little. He still remembered the pictures and story to a tee. : ) 3 naughty pigs get into the farmer's house and cause a huge mess, but the farmer and his wife interrupt the pig party, though the pigs were not recognized by the couple. The farmer and his wife never could figure out who came in and destroyed the house.

I absolutely loved reading this book to my toddlers when they were young (they are 19 and 15 now). It helped them start to understand the concept of counting because every time it said "three pigs", we counted the pigs. I plan to order a couple of new copies, if I can find them, to save for my grandkids. I can't tell you how wonderful this book is. The story is fun and exciting and the illustrations are wonderful.

The pigs sneak put of the pigpen and into the house. The farmer and his wife did not knpw so they kept gardening in the yard. When they returned to the house, it was turned upside down. they looked outside and the pigs were playing in the pen. This book teaches students it hard to prove someone did something, when no one saw it.

Fun children's book. We had several of the 'Read Aloud Original' books when my kids were younger and they were all great.

One of my favorites. Great artwork. I love it when the art tells more of the story than the words do.
