Granny Gomez's pet pig Jigsaw gets so big that he outgrows their house. But after she builds him a deluxe barn next door, they're both lonely. Even if readers can predict the story's resolution, they will acclaim the book for its barn-building, drum-playing Granny and its witty art, in which Granny and Jigsaw's exchanged glances say what their words can't.
