You’ve heard the story of the Three Little Pigs, but how about the Three Big Pigs, well hogs, actually.  They have some serious adventures when the farmer mysteriously disappears and leaves them to find their own food and shelter.  You also won’t want to miss what happens when Pig and Bear go into business.  Join Karen Rae Kraut for these stories and more about the peace-loving 12th animal in the Chinese Zodiac!
