Realistic Fiction
This story is about a young girl who severely underestimates the intelligences of pigs. When she goes to feed them in the morning, they end up getting out of their pen and spending the day in many odd places. In the end, the pigs come back to the pen (in a bus) and Megan learns her lesson: pigs are smarter than you think.
This story is most appropriate for younger students, Pre-K to first or second grade. I think it could be used as a read aloud story for students. It could also be used to teach a lesson on underestimating things, or even why it is important to listen to our parents. I personally would not use this book because I think it is geared toward too young of an audience than I plan to teach.
