How big is a pig? To find out, follow in the footsteps of a cheerful piglet as he takes you on a trail around the farmyard. You will meet beasts, birds, and insects of all shapes and sizes, until at last you come to a big surprise in the pigsty. With a clever, repetitive text, How Big Is a Pig? offers a gentle and humorous way of introducing pre-school children to all kinds of opposites.

Awards & Accolades

IRA-CBC Children’s Choice, 2001

"Beaton... whips up bold, bright tableaux out of meticulously sewn felt ... and embellishes the fuzzy fabric with judicious use of beads and sequins. Here, a smiling pink piggy coaxes the audiences through a rhyming series about different kinds of opposites, ending each vignette with the title question... Beaton will have her audience's attention all sewn up" — Publishers Weekly
