Oink!

"My Pigs," by Heather Miller, is part of the "My Farm" series of books for beginner readers. The book has very easy-to-read main text; there are only 1 to 3 sentences on each 2-page spread, and each spread contains a large photograph. Certain words are highlighted with boldface type, and are repeated at the end of the book. These vocabulary words include "grunts," "trough," "boar," etc. Sample text: "Hi, I'm Ben. Welcome to my farm."The photos show a sow with her piglets, pigs lying in the mud to keep cool, and similar scenes from a pig farm. There are no gory pig-slaughtering scenes; in fact, the text might cause one to think that this farm is a petting zoo run by vegetarians. "My Pigs" should prove to be an effective educational tool for kids with an interest in farm animals.
