Bed Hogs

(4) PS Illustrated by Howard Fine. Little Runt can't sleep because the itchy straw bed he shares with his family is too crowded. The other pigs' stinky feet, drooling, laughing, sleep-dancing, and snoring keep him awake, so one by one, Little Runt kicks them out of bed, but then can't sleep with all that room. The simple, repetitious rhyming text and the bold, painterly illustrations make for a somewhat predictable but humorous read.
