Product Description

One-of-a-kind field guide to more than 30 breeds with easy-to-understand descriptions and illustrations.

From the Back Cover

Always ready for a trip to the farm, John Pukite strapped on his overalls after the landslide success of A Field Guide to Cows and went back to work. The result is a one-of-a-kind field guide to the true entertainer of the farmyard: the pig. Although swine have roamed fields and forests for centuries, this guide is the first to offer easy-to-understand descriptions and illustrations of more than 30 breeds. The field guide also includes a time line of pig history, a list of famous and remarkable pigs, pig quotes, and much, much more. If you are hog-wild about pigs, this book needs to be on your bookshelf today!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for those who admire the noble pig!, July 17, 2001
By Priscilla J. Valentine (Gig Harbor, WA. USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is delightful...for those of us who are infatuated with these bristly critters, it gives all the loose-end info that the other books don't. From tail-curling descriptions to grunt analysis, this book brings home the bacon. It included pig folk sayings, poems, pig songs, pig superstitions.. and the piggy illustrations were extremely detailed and captivating, if you adore porkers! It's a fun book to page through, and is chock full of obscure piggy facts that you would never find anywhere else, such as pig trails of past times, or the four varieties of spam. I am sure that any pig lover would be perusing through it as fast as I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Piggelicious, June 9, 2006
By Helena Bowman (La Crescenta, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is absolutely delightful! Few of us are aware how rich and varied our farm yard animal's history is. This is a great book for adults and kids alike. It is full of facts and also has small fun tidbits of "useless" (if there is such a thing)information that tickles your funny bone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oink!!, April 6, 2003
This is a book that goes hog-wild with descriptions of twenty-four varieties of domesticated pig and thirteen of their wild relatives. It is larded with many interesting and important facts about the development of today's common breeds. Although the author does ham it up with some of his observations, he has succeeded in fashioning a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
