The pig is alone in his pen and is looking at the children who are playing far away over at the nursery. He also wants to join! In the end he cannot control himself anymore. He digs and digs and, finally, he is out of the pen and runs up to the fence of the nursery. A girl notices him and opens the gate. The pig is inside! All the children are excited and overjoyed, but realize that it’s probably better if the teachers don’t see him. How do you hide a pig in a nursery? There Is a Pig at Nursery is a humoristic, poetic and at the same time very realistic story. All the situations that the pig is faced with the children will recognize and relate to.

Johanna’s text written in her quirky signature style full of humor and Charlotte’s expressive and enchanting illustrations together create an absolutely irresistible picture book!
