Scarry Pigs in Peril - a set on Flickr

At long last, a canonical home for the least self-interested animals in the pantheon of children’s literature: Richard Scarry’s pigs.

Although many of the animals in Richard Scarry’s books have an unusual interest in meat, no creature is more intrigued by the exploitation and consumption of his own species than the smiling and good-natured pig.
