<P>Playful, fun-to-read-aloud language from a respected young adult poet and novelist joins distinctive illustrations from a noted European artist in this captivating picture book. Ten piglets wander off into the dark, drawn by the light of the moon. After rambling far from home, plundering and looting and dancing in a moonlit trance, they attract the attention of a prowling fox. They howl for their mama, an enormous sow, who awakens, heaves herself to her feet, and tracks down all of her offspring. Each pig has a distinct personality and name, so readers can follow the adventures of their favorite through the book. This satisfying bedtime story is based on a real phenomenon in which baby animals become entranced by the moonlight.</P>
