About this title

From the Publisher:

Hobart is a multi-voiced recording featuring author Anita Briggs as narrator and the fabulous Full Cast Audio family of actors. The four little piglets are played by actual children, which lends a charming touch to this hilarious production, and the portrayals of the other barnyard animals will leave listeners in stitches. Reminiscent of classic radio drama, this intriguing audiobook is even better because it contains the full, unabridged text. Special Feature: A high-spirited musical finale that will delight young and old alike.

From the Inside Flap:

Hobart is a little pig with a big dream: He wants to be a tap dancer. There's just one problem--Hobart and his siblings Wilfred, Violet, and Byron are scheduled for a trip to the City Meat Company, where they may meet their fate at the sausage machine.

Hobart's family despairs. But not Hobart, for he is a pig with hope. And a pig with hope can accomplish wonders, as listeners will happily discover in this delightfully funny tale about life on the farm and the power of a dream. The musical finale will have listeners of all ages tapping their toes in delight.
