Hobart yearns to become a world famous tap dancer. Of course, this isn’t easy when you are born a pig. But Hobart is one of the world’s great optimists, and he is convinced that if he can just keep himself and his siblings Violet (an acrobat), Byron (a poet), and Wilfred (a singer) from being turned into pork chops that they can make their dreams come true. Anita Briggs herself narrates, and the high-spirited musical finale will delight listeners of all ages.
Famous pigs Wilbur, Ace, and Babe would be proud of this fine porcine counterpart. Hobart and his siblings are artists who must develop their talents or face a rendezvous with the City Meat Truck. Additionally, they realize they owe thanks to Farmer Mills for raising them in a special environment. Sustained by a dream, hope, and bottle caps, they escape the farm and rise to the challenges they encounter. Anita Briggs leads in the narration of her story. Farmer Mills is proprietary and proud. Each of the pigs has a genuine and earnest young narrator. When they're ready for the performance of their lives, the recording reverberates with their collected talents, set to an engaging score. Budding poets, acrobats, singers, and dancers, listen well! A.R. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
