But one day the proud pig was too busy bragging to watch where he was trotting and he collided with a trunk that was taller, rather than longer, and much stronger than his own. From that day on, pigs--and their noses--have never been the same! Packed with spectacular pop-ups, this delightfully far-fetched fable is sure to charm fans of Faulkner and Lambert's immensely popular The Wide-Mouthed Frog (Dial).
