The Adventures of a South Pole Pig
There hasn’t been a pig like this since Wilbur! Flora, is a farm pig who dreams of life outside of the pigpen. Her biggest dream is to pull a sled like the sled dogs being trained on the farm. Soon she has her chance when she is taken with the dogs on a ship bound for Antarctica. What Flora doesn’t understand is that she’s not on the trip to pull a sled… she’s there as a food source! But when the adventure takes an unexpected twist, Flora is ready to show her worth – and not as the bacon! Flora, a sled dog named Oscar and a persnickety cat named Sophia are about to have the time of their lives!
This was such a fun story to read about a resilient pig craving adventure! I’m excited to share it with some of the kids that I know love animal books, because the animals in this one are so genuine and have great personalities. This is a perfect story to cozy up with as the weather begins to grow colder. Check it out, today!
