(4) K-3 Pigs Jambo and Marva are skilled topiarists, and every fall their nursery's turkey-shaped topiaries are in high demand. When their trees are stolen, however, efforts to catch the thief are thwarted until Marva devises a way to expose him. The narrative is about as lively as an actual crime report, but Geisert's illustrations are rich with detail and have a pleasingly old-fashioned quality.
