In an entertaining cross between Babe and Marley & Me, a family of six (plus a dog, cat, and several chickens) decides to invite two mini-pigs into their chaotic household. Matt Whyman enjoyed a quiet writer’s life in the English countryside . . . until his career wife, Emma, discovered the existence of a pig said to fit inside a handbag. She believes not one but two would be a perfect addition to the already diverse Whyman clan, which includes a dog, a cat, a gaggle of chickens, as well as four children. Nobody could have anticipated the misadventures two little piglets could bring. From stealing his spot on the family sofa to trashing his neighbor’s garden while drunk on fermented apples, Butch and Roxi swiftly establish themselves as “animals of mass distraction.” Funny, touching, and endlessly entertaining, Oink charts the battle of hearts, snouts, and minds between a family man and two mini-pigs.

The hot August sun shone upon the southern slopes of Echo Gulch. Wisps of hot smoke filtered through the duff of dead vegetation, igniting into a small flame. The flame kindled dry vegetation around it, quickly growing bigger and bigger. Energized by fresh oxygen, the fire increased into a ruddy blaze. A light breeze whisked the fire along. It spread rapidly, igniting everything in its path as it dashed up the mountainside. The raging inferno climbed into the treetops, propelling tongues of fire and firebrands hundreds of feet into the sky. The burning brands settled into the forest miles away, starting spot fires as they landed. Salami's home was in imminent danger. Chatters had to take quick action to warn the forest critters of the massive fire and to save his family from devastation. Salami and Bozzo teamed up, to assist Mom and Dad in saving the family farm. This is a heartwarming story of Salami, Bozzo and Chatters, who faced realistic and life-threatening challenges of fire and ice. Salami, a lovable, chubby, potbellied pig, shared the farm with Mom, Dad, and his best friend, the family dog Bozzo. Their friend Chatters, the pine squirrel, lived in the nearby forest.
