High in the Italian hills, lived a family of five pigs. The mother and father were generally proud of their self-reliant piglets.
That is, except for the middle pig. While his sisters would forage for the family food, he thought everything was just a game.
But in fact, he would never have a name himself, if he didn't do the same.
Readers of Maurice Sendak's Chicken Soup with Rice, and Alligators All Around will be sure to enjoy this fairytale told in rhyme, along with its colorful illustrations.
Young children will enjoy this silly tale of a piglet who must find a special food to forage, in order to earn his own name.
Older children may grasp the deeper meaning, that there is value in working together, towards a shared goal.
In addition, there is an overarching broader narrative regarding the necessity for human stewardship of our one world.
This complex topic is written into the seemingly simple fairytale, so that children may understand the concept.
