Under a Pig Tree: A History of the Noble Fruit (A Mixed-Up Book)

Under a Pig Tree is a hilarious illustrated history of pigs, from the earliest times to the present day.

The author has written a clear, no-nonsense history of figs, but the publisher is sure she meant pigs.

With sticky notes from the publisher, angry scribbles from the author, wrinkles, and pages askew, this book is a playful peek into a book in "midproduction" and a humorous look at the consequences of small mistakes.

The illustrations are charming, with pigs tumbling across the pages and nesting in trees.

This book will appeal to primary-age children and is an additional purchase for third-grade level readers.

It's a prime choice for foodie families and kiddos will go hog-wild for this farcical romp.
