Jigger’s Day Off
“Time has come for harvest, Jigger. So I shan’t be needing you all day. It’s your day off, my dear.” Jigger the sheepdog gets just one day off a year - one glorious day to chase all the little animals hiding in the corn. But when things don’t go quite to plan, Jigger quickly discovers that even a day off can turn into a very busy adventure…
And Pigs Might Fly!
“Flying was not nearly as easy as it looked. Pintsize stood up on his back trotters and flapped his front ones - trotters, he thought, would do just as well as wings.” It’s a long, hot summer, and Pintsize the piglet starts to wonder if life might be cooler up in the sky. Determined to try flying for himself, Pintsize soon finds that his bold ideas are causing chaos all over Mudpuddle Farm. Perhaps it’s time he learned an important lesson…
Full of playful storytelling, expressive illustrations, and memorable animal characters, MUDPUDDLE FARM: PIGS MIGHT FLY is a joyful early chapter book that celebrates curiosity, mischief, and learning from mistakes - with plenty of laughs along the way.
