Books with title Pigs

Wallow in fascinating facts about the smartest of all farm animals-- the pig. From ancient wild boars to modern breeds, pigs are intriguing-- and often misunderstood. They may roll in mud when it's very hot out, but prefer to be clean and tidy. And most pigs don't "eat like pigs." With clear, simple text and bright, well-labeled watercolors, Gail Gibbons explores the truth about pigs. Digging up truffles, competing in county fairs, grunting and squealing to communicate-- these flat-snouted farm animals are complex and surprisingly talented. Important vocabulary, information about domestic and wild breeds, and a page of fun pig facts are included. Ideal for young readers or classroom use, Pigs has everything you need to know-- from snout to curly tail.

In Pigs, emergent readers will learn about the behaviors of pigs that live on a farm. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text will engage early readers as they discover why pigs have curly tails, floppy ears, and other physical attributes. A labeled diagram helps readers identify body parts of a pig, while a picture glossary reinforces new vocabulary. Children can learn more about pigs online using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. Pigs also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, and an index.
