The Pig family is starving, but their cupboards are bare and pockets empty. Desperate for a meal, they embark on a frantic search for hidden coins and bills throughout their home.

Can they satisfy their appetites or will they come up short? Dive into this delightful tale of numbers and necessity.

From the publisher

Join the pig family as they add, subtract, multiply, divide, and think about how money works in order to satisfy their big pig appetites! The pigs are very hungry, and there’s no food in the house. Mr. Pig suggests eating out–but oh, no! The Pigs are out of money! So the family goes on a money hunt. In beds, under the carpet, even in the washing machine the coins and bills add up, and soon it’s off to the Enchanted Enchilada. How much money did the Pigs find? What can they afford to order from the menu? Join the fun and pig out on math and money concepts with the Pigs!
