Bookroo's summary

On a scorching summer day, a pig on Neligan's farm watches ducks and geese cool off in the pond. Overcome by the heat, she takes an unexpected plunge, causing a stir among the farm animals. As the pig enjoys her refreshing swim, others soon follow, turning the farm into a lively splash zone. Will this daring act change farm life forever? Dive into this whimsical tale of courage and camaraderie.

From the publisher

Pigs don’t swim, or so it’s said. But on one of the hottest days of the summer, the pig on Neligan’s farm sits by the pond feeling envious of the ducks and the geese floating in the cool water. Finally, when she can endure the heat no longer–splash!–this sweltering pig takes a dive, throwing the entire farm into an uproar. It isn’t long, however, before the refreshing idea catches on, and the pig finds that she’s got company! This spirited tale with its exuberant illustrations is sure to be a hit with all those young and old who ever wanted to take the plunge.
