Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-The pigs in the holler are gathering for the annual hootenanny. The action of the story, told in rhyming quatrains, consists of the creatures cavorting to polkas, square dances, and the hokey "porky," and ending up in a piggy mosh pit. While there are some amusing touches and the verse scans reasonably well, there is nothing of substance here to maintain interest or inspire rereading. Pham's watercolor and colored-pencil digital-media art has decent design elements but suffers from an excess of pinks and reds. Bill Martin, Jr., and John Archambault's Barn Dance (Holt, 1995) is a better story of nighttime farm shenanigans.
