Pocket Piggies Opposites! ─ Featuring the Teacup Pigs of Pennywell Farm

The Pocket Piggies are back in their third irresistible board book for babies and toddlers—this time illustrating the concept of opposites in their own inimitably adorable way. The star residents of Pennywell Farm in Devon, England, pocket pigs (also known as teacup pigs) are tiny enough to fit in the palm of a hand, and they love posing for the camera as much as the camera loves them. ThePocket Pigs calendar is a perennial hit and has sold more than 200,000 copies, and their first two board books—Pocket Piggies Colors! andPocket Piggies Numbers!—have more than 112,000 copies in print. The made-for-little-hands board book format is the perfect platform for these friendly and photogenic ambassadors of cute.

With bright, colorful full-bleed photographs and simple text, Pocket Piggies Opposites! is a delightful way for young children to learn about these early childhood concepts. There’s “Messy” (piggy splattered with paint) and “Clean” (piggy taking a bubble bath). “Cold” (piggy playing in the snow) and “Hot” (piggy building a sand castle on the beach). “Quiet” (piggy hiding bashfully in a leaf pile) and “Loud” (a quartet of piggies banging on a tiny piano). And more, all lovingly photographed by Richard Austin, Pennywell’s exclusive animal photographer.
