Illustrated by
Barry Moser.
Pig Christopher Hogwood, lured out into the springtime sunshine, can't resist the gardener's juicy lettuces and the rich soil of the neighbor's lush lawn. This results in a great chase that even involves law enforcement. Moser's illustrations display the messy indulgence of this enormous swine, while the story, told from Hogwood's point of view, conveys his genial personality.
