Illustrated by
Nick Bruel.
When the snooty, condescending pigs exasperate Damaris, a duck, and Rory, a sheepdog, the two encourage them to escape. The pigs, however, soon get kidnapped. Remorse sets in, and Damaris and Rory find it's much harder to bring them home again. Engaging characters fill this wonderfully wacky farm. Humorous black-and-white illustrations add even more personality to the already exuberant animals.
