Illustrated by
Lynn Munsinger.
In his rush to snatch all the loot at the treasure hunt in the park, greedy Gruntly pig gets the rhyming clues all wrong. The other animals finish first but don’t grab his portion of the prize; Gruntly finally shares with them. Comical, expressive illustrations complement the playful language. Readers get the added pleasure of guessing the clues before Gruntly does.
