Bookroo's summary

The Greenstalk family faces constant farm mishaps, from broken tractors to tangled kites. Luckily, their eager pigs are ready to help, but their enthusiastic efforts lead to more chaos than solutions. As the pigs' well-meaning interventions spiral into comedic disasters, the Greenstalks must navigate the hilarity and find a way to restore order. Will the pigs' antics prove too much, or can the family embrace the chaos and find unexpected joy in their farm's new normal? Discover the delightful mayhem in 'Pigs to the Rescue' and see if the Greenstalks can survive their pigs' enthusiastic assistance.

From the publisher

Farmer Greenstalk and his family have the darnedest luck. Broken-down tractors, kites stuck in trees–they’re always having problems! It’s a good thing they have such helpful farm animals on hand. This time around, the pigs want to pitch in, and boy, do they ever! The Greenstalks soon find, though, that life might just be a little easier without their help… Pigs to the Rescue is a 2011 Bank Street - Best Children’s Book of the Year.
