The True Adventures of Esther the Wonder Pig is a fun book for learning about pigs!  It's based on the true story of a pig named Esther and her dads, Steve and Derek, who adopted her thinking that she was a micro pig.  They soon learned that that was not the case - all pigs get big - and Esther now weighs in at about 600 lbs!  I loved the gay representation, cute illustrations, and repeating motif.  This is a story about love of animals and will hopefully inspire kids to think about animal welfare.

This was really good! Two men adopt a pig, which they think is a miniature pig. She isn't. Much in the way of pets, her antics cause trouble but her smile and attitude make her parents live her just the same. It makes me want a wonder pig of my own.

Received this book as a gift for my 2 year old. He LOVED it. He asked questions about all the pictures, and he got really upset when Esther looked sad in one picture. A cute, fun, true story for kids (and their parents).
