Bed Hogs by Kelly DiPucchio, illustrated by Howard Fine

A rhyming, counting story about sleeping arrangements. Runt, the smallest pig in his family, has a hard time getting a good night's sleep with his drooling, stinky, giggling, dancing, snoring family members. He kicks them out of the straw one by one until he;s all alone and he still can't sleep. Runt calls all his family back and then he can finally rest. A great book for storytime. The text supports print recognition and narrative skills.
