The Bookworm ... For Kids
‘Pig’ Is Sure To Please
“Pig Kahuna: Who’s That Pig?” by
Jennifer Sattler; © 2015, Bloomsbury
Children’s Books. 32 pages
———
BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER
There was a new kid in your playgroup today, and he’s kind of weird.
He’s loud, for one thing. He’s always
yelling and he acts goofy. Other kids
seemed to think he was nice, but you
can’t imagine ever playing with him.
Maybe he was looking for attention.
Maybe you’re more the quiet type.
Or, as in the new book “Pig Kahuna:
Who’s That Pig?” by Jennifer Sattler,
maybe you just don’t know him very
well.
Just like every other Monday in
every ordinary week, Fergus and Dink
were at the beach. They were collecting seashells and building sand castles
when they noticed something that was
“anything but ordinary.”
It was a girl pig and she was quite
fashion-forward in a striped-andleopard tutu-swimsuit and rhinestone
sunglasses. She was making “sand angels” and whistling a tune. And, as Dink
noticed, she was very good at standing
on her head.
He wanted to go say hello, but Fergus wasn’t so sure. The girl pig looked
like she just wanted to be left alone.
Certainly, that’s what Fergus wanted
but Dink ran over to the new pig and
introduced himself. She answered
“hello” in three different languages,
and said her name was Tallulah… then
she started walking with Dink and they
were coming toward Fergus!
That made Fergus very nervous. He
tried to pretend that he was looking
for something in the sand, but Tallulah
started showing off and Fergus didn’t
know what to say. He wasn’t happy that
Dink asked her to play with them, but
Fergus was a good sport. It did hurt his
feelings when they kind of ignored him,
though.
But then — while he was feeling
rather awkward and out-of-sorts —
Fergus spotted something in the sand.
It was a crab that had somehow gotten
SDSU Natural
Resource Camp
on July 8 & 9
BROOKINGS, S.D. - The
South Dakota State University Department of Natural
Resource Management is
hosting a Natural Resource
Camp at the Oak Lake Field
Station in Astoria, S.D., on
July 8 & 9. The camp is
intended for high school students, ages 14-18, who have
a strong desire to learn more
about natural resources and
associated careers.
Camp activities will
include bird identification,
plant identification, mammal capture, firearm safety
training and assessing soil
health. Participants will
also have an opportunity to
learn about lake, stream and
wetland ecology and will be
able to practice fish research
sampling methods.
SDSU Natural Resource
Management faculty and
graduate students will be
working along with South
Dakota Game, Fish and Parks
conservation officers, and
Natural Resource Conservation Service biologists and
range management specialists to lead camp activities.
“Our camp is set up to
provide attendees with
hands-on experience to help
them learn more about ecology, environmental science,
fisheries, rangelands and
wildlife,” says Leslie Bilbrey,
SDSU Natural Resource
Management Instructor and
Camp Coordinator. “We
will provide students with
a small taste of the diverse
array of career and research
opportunities available in
the field of Natural Resource
Management in a fun,
educational environment.
Attendees should be able to
walk away from their Natural
Resource Camp experience
with a better understanding
of local natural resources
and career paths involving
those resources.” ?iGrow

turned on its back, and crabs hate that.
Dink saw it, too, but he didn’t know
what to do. Tallulah really didn’t, either,
but she said crabs were very good
dancers.
Fergus didn’t care about dancing.
He didn’t want to touch the crab but it
needed help and Fergus knew that this
was a good chance to save the day…
Everybody likes to be liked, whether
on social media or in person — although there’s such a thing as trying
too hard, which can be awkward. That’s
even true when you’re porcine, as your
child will see in “Pig Kahuna: Who’s
That Pig?”
Even kids who are brimming with
self-confidence will understand how
Fergus Pig feels when presented with
someone who seems to outshine him.
Author Jennifer Sattler does a great job
conveying that in her words, but her
illustrations really bring it home: Fergus
has the most appealing facial expressions, telling us exactly what he’s thinking. Add Dink’s earnest friendliness and
Tallulah’s hilarious eccentricities, and
there you have a winner.
While this book is meant for children ages 3 to 5, I think slightly older
kids will get a kick out of it, too. When
it’s read-to-me time, in fact, “Pig Kahuna: Who’s That Pig?” is a book they’ll
yell for.
