Brownie Bear and the Baby Pigs

About the Book

This story about Brownie Bear and the baby pigs fascinates children because of the conflict between Brownie Bear and the bad men who steal the baby pigs from the children. It's a good guy-bad guy thriller translated to the level of children, with the usual apparent disaster followed by a rescue using Brownie Bear's magical powers of smell and his super-strength to overcome the nefarious plot of the bad men who intend to make the baby pigs into ham and bacon.
