What is Pig's Skin about?
Pig loves rolling in cool, squelchy mud, but the mud is more than just fun. Without it, the hot sun can make his skin sting and burn. Told in lively rhyme, this playful story follows Pig as he discovers why a muddy wallow is so important. Young readers can join in with the repeated sounds and enjoy learning a simple fact about pigs while watching one very determined animal find the perfect way to stay comfortable.
