A Pig Tale

A Pig Tale by Helen Oxenbury 

This was a great library find of ours! In fact, I loved it so much I'm considering buying it for our personal collection.

These 2 pigs are so bored with their day-to-day lives in the sty and they have great dreams of moving on to greener pastures. They'd love to strike it rich and be able to live in a fancy house, drive a fancy car, and wear fancy clothes. All their dreams come true when they dig up a chest full of jewels in their pen one day. The only problem is that once they're living the dream, they realize they hate it and only want their old, simple lifestyle back.

This is a great book to help kids learn about being content and thankful for what they have. It also does a nice job of teaching the lesson that sometimes things look more enticing than they actually are.
