This book is probably no longer in print, and that is a real shame.

This is the VERY FIRST book I ever read at preschool story time, back in 1982. In verse, very easy to get caught up in the rhythm.

Hamilton's born on the farm in the spring "Hamilton's mother said, 'Hamilton's born.' His very first OINK. His very first squeal. Was saying that Hamilton wanted a meal. He wanted some sustenance, wanted some chow. He wanted some food and he wanted it NOW."

The other young animals all make fun of him because he is so BIG, but they sure loved him after the Wolf came out of his cave...……

This is great for teaching about excepting others for who they are.

A fun story about a cute fat pig that turns the tables on a mean nasty wolf who tries to eat him. My kids and I love this story. Besides the pictures of our hero being adorable, it's fun to see Hamilton be the hero after everyone makes fun of him. A great story for kids of all ages.

Such a great children's book. I bet it was aimed for kids that have an issue with their weight though.

One of my favorite books as a child, if not my favorite. I read it aloud to my college speech class and even had them chanting, "A pig is just downright supposed to be big!"

Fun for kids who love pigs, especially hungry pigs.
