Illustrated by
Josée Masse.
Pig number one is trying to sleep, but pigs two through ten have other ideas, from reading in bed to playing the drums; counting back down restores the peace. The text includes some challenging vocabulary ("Bengal Lancer"?) and nods to Shakespeare that will likely go over kids' heads. But the swinging rhyme and energetic acrylics are sure to delight them.
