(3) K-3 Whenever the Greenstalks have a problem on their family farm (e.g., a garden hose leaks), it's "pigs to the rescue" (the porcine helpers nearly drown Mrs. Greenstalk while watering her garden). The story reads like a joke with a protracted setup--but readers won't see the punch line coming. The cartoony art features amusing reaction shots of the "rescued."
