Illustrated by
Henry Cole.
An energetic pig loose at the fair makes a colorful mess of himself, rolling around in everything from brown mud to pink cotton candy to green grass. Fashioned after "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly," the cumulative rhyming tale is as exhausting as the pig's adventure, which is ably depicted in Cole's bright acrylic and colored-pencil pictures.
