3 Mini Pigs Get New Digs In Spirit Lake

3 Mini Pigs Get New Digs (in Spirit Lake, Idaho)

This rhyming story of a sweet sibling bond is full of giggles, snorts, and surprises!

What happens when three mini pigs move into a brand-new piggery? A whole lot of courage, curiosity and cleverness! Follow Woody, Pippi Anne, and Penny Mae as they explore their amazing new digs in Spirit Lake.

Inspired by a real-life piggy adventure, this playful story begins near Seattle. Three young siblings are packed up and take a bumpy first ride to their forever home. SQUEAL

Once let loose in their yard, the piglets run for their lives! Soon, fear magically changes into total wonder. Snorting about everything, they slowly discover their new world side-by-side, starting with lunch (first things first). Surprises appear at every turn, a kiddie pool full of something mysterious, new foods to taste, puzzling toys, and perfect places to dig!

Each piglet has a big personality: one's clever, one's brave, and one just wants more snacks. Kids will see themselves in these curious best friends as they investigate everything together, and being brave doesn't always mean being the biggest.

Perfect for a bedtime story-these 3 tired piggies put themselves to bed! OINK
