Oh man, the title says it all here.  All pigs are beautiful.  The illustrations show this, the narration shows this...it's all true.  Immediately this book tells you that it's non-fiction, because how could anything titled like this be false?  If you couldn't tell, I love pigs, and this only made me love them even more.  I already knew some of the facts--such as the fact that pigs are actually pretty clean creatures and that they're extremely smart, but I didn't know about all of the different types of pigs there were, and I certainly wasn't aware of some of their habits.  

It's a pretty biased book, but I'm also a pretty biased reader.  Pigs deserve all the goodness in our hearts.

I love pigs, so of course I loved this picture book! Sometimes it seems like there's too much text for younger kids, but the illustrations are almost unbearably cute so I think that makes up for too much text on some pages.
