The Pig in the Pond
Illustrated by Jill Barton
This delightful story is about Neligan's pig and how it solves the problem of a very hot day and an inability to swim. Worth every penny of the price for the wonderful double-page spread of the pig cavorting in the water and, later, the sight of Farmer Neligan joining him. The illustrations are a perfect foil for the rhythmic, clear, entertaining text and the quality of the presentation makes this a real winner with me and my class.
