The Whistling Piglet
Illustrated by Norman Johnson
More animal magic from Dick king-Smith: Mumping thought her Henry's whistling was an awful noise and so did all the other full-grown animals on the farm. But Henry's brothers and sisters said, 'It's brill! It's catchy! It makes your feet itch!' and so did the chicks, lambs, calves and all the young ones who danced and gambolled wherever he led. The farmer was always having to round up the youngsters, much to his annoyance, so this particular little piggy had to go to market. Fun for sharing and solo reading.
