This is an amusing book with great kid humor, and a punch line to remember to be yourself. Nice addition to any library for grade level K-3

This is a crazy book for all ages. It is about one huge accident that is made by just one pig! One old lady has a crazy pig that can do crazy things. If you read this book you will laugh for the rest of your life. This is a crazier than a fox playing the clarinet!! This is a great book you will love!

Naturally the police department thought Miss Rosemary was joking when she said her pig was driving but had to ticket the pig when he drove on the wrong side and had a fender-bender. Miss Rosemary's solution, with the assistance of Gertrude, the cow brings George back to the farm.

These are cute illustrations and a cute story. I would think most children would love it!

This is a very cute book about a pig who wanted to be someone else. At the end of the book the pig realized its okay to be yourself. This book has good morals for kids. It lets them know that who you are is cool. Everyone is different but everyone is special. I enjoyed this book alot.

This is a cute book, especially for the farm animal lover in your life. Miss Rosemary's pig decides that he wants to fly like Gertrude the cow and takes off, landing in the petunias. I could do without the use of the word "nincompoop" - not something that should be heard coming from a toddler, but I just use ninny and move on. It's a neat lesson to learn - don't try to do something or be something you're not. It's more fun to be yourself. It's a very cute book, one that shouldn't be overlooked.

This book sends the message to kids that you cannot be something you aren't. As hard as you wish and try, you still are yourself and you have to learn to accept it. If you are always trying to be like somebody else, no one sees the real you.
George the pig is always trying to be like Gertrude, the multitalented cow. He goes too far and finally realizes (with a little help) that he should act like a pig, not a cow.
I think this is a great book for kids to read with or without a parent. The illustrations are very colorful. My favorite character was Gertrude (the multitalented cow). I would recommend this for anyone to read.

Paul Brett Johnson's imaginative adventures with Miss Rosemary and her farm-full of precocious animals just keep getting better with The Pig Who Ran a Red Light. Playful watercolor illustrations and country-toned jargon add up to adorable fun for all ages, and especially "those who have sometimes wished to be somebody else." I think I got as much of a kick out of this delightful book as my nearly-three-year-old himself, and we liked it even more than its fun-filled predecessor, The Cow Who Wouldn't Come Down.
