Book Cover & Preview Text
In Pig Wisdom, Mr. Pig applies anger management techniques, or alternatives to conflict and violence, in the barnyard, teaching the animals to solve their anger problems constructively, rather than to harm others. Wise Mr. Pig encourages the barnyard animals to use these methods to discourage the ill behavior of Miss Goose who constantly irritates and heckles the barnyard animals, causing them to lose their cool. These techniques are emphasized in each anger-arousing situation and reiterated at the end of the book for memory application. In the end, the barnyard animals learn to manage their behavior, are much happier, and Miss Goose becomes very tolerable, even pleasant.

About the Author
I am a seventy-three-year-old retired elementary schoolteacher and elementary counselor. I have a bachelor’s degree in education and a master’s degree in reading, with a reading specialist and a counseling certification. My husband passed away two years ago, leaving me a widow. I have three sons, one daughter-in-law, and two granddaughters. All three sons are gainfully employed. The oldest granddaughter is in college, and the youngest is a junior in high school. I often play mah-jongg with a group of ladies and read a lot for entertainment. I travel some with my family. Last summer, all seven of us took a cruise to the British Isles, visiting England, Ireland, Scotland, and France. This summer we went to New York for five days and enjoyed a couple of Broadway shows. I enjoy traveling with the family. I am active in my church and spend a great deal of time there.
