Books Published in Other Countries – “Pigs Might Fly” Written By: Dick King Smith Illustrated By: Mary Rayner

       Pigs Might Fly is about a small piglet named Daggie Dogfoot who heard others talking about pigs flying.  Daggie believes that if he trained really hard that he could fly.  As Daggie trains to fly, the other animals on the farm try to help him achieve his goal. 

            The book is very comical and I loved the British feel to the story.  The library media specialist was the one who told me about the book and she suggested if I read it to anyone, to read it in an English accent.  She said that she read Pigs Might Fly to her daughter and they would laugh and laugh at the accent.  I guess I need to start practicing!
