Pigs, pigs and more pigs

You have to be a pig fan to enjoy this book but it is very well done. It covers in a light-hearted yet factual way everything connected with pigs from breeds, anatomy, sties and mud to history, guinness records, pig latin and even a reference to Harley Davidson "Hogs". So if you'd like to know at what weight a pig becomes a hog, what to call their legs or what famous explorers they travelled with, this book is for you. P.S. My children giggled with delight as they learned that pot bellied pigs won't poop in the house!
