Numbers - Richard Austin

Could there be a cuter way to learn colors and numbers? Announcing a new line of board books featuring the irresistible Teacup Pigs of Pennywell Farm. Small enough to hold in the palm of your hand, the Pennywell pigs are an adorable lot. They're also naturals in front of the camera-especially the camera belonging to Richard Austin who, as their exclusive photographer, knows just how to capture their big personalities.

The Pocket Piggies board books marry the inherent appeal of Teacup Pigs to the sweetness of the board book format. The photographs are full-color, full-page, and up-close. The subjects are classics: Pocket Piggies Numbers! celebrates an ever-growing crowd of piggies, from one to ten, through a rhyming text that's sweet and charming, to read again and again:

1 Pocket Piggy in a boat,
2 Pocket Piggies in a cup,
3 Pocket Piggies in a basket,
4 Pocket Piggies with a pup!
