Description
What If Pigs Could Fly - And Have Adventures?
Sir Pigglesworth Brings Adventure and More to Bedtime Stories!
When it comes to bedtime, there's nothing more fun than snuggling up with a good book - or reading out aloud to your child and sharing the ups and downs of a story of a rambunctious young adventurer.
After being knighted by Queen Alexandra for acts of bravery, Sir Pigglesworth was commissioned to travel around the world to spread cheer and smiles with all the children he meets. He is to learn about the culture and history of each city he visits and pass this information on to all children of the world.
First stop...LONDON!!
In his first adventure, Sir Pigglesworth decides to follow his parents to the London airport. He was supposed to stay home with his grandmother, but the precocious royal rascal was not always very good at following the rules! He wants to surprise his parents with his smiling face in Vancouver! Surely, they would be thrilled to see him there...wouldn't they?
After all, what could go wrong?

JoAnn Wagner was born in New York. She moved to Mesquite, TX, a suburb of Dallas, in 1986. After having worked for 25 years at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, JoAnn began an exciting new career - writing children's books! Her hobbies include writing, reading, cruising, yoga, and water aerobics. JoAnn is married, and between her and her husband they have 5 wonderful children and 6 beautiful, rambunctious grandchildren. The "Sir Pigglesworth's Adventure Series" was born when JoAnn's church gave out a flying pig stress ball for the congregation to take around over the summer and post pictures on Facebook. Everywhere she went people smiled and laughed, and were excited to have their picture taken with Sir Pigglesworth, as she dubbed the pig. The idea blossomed until it became clear that Sir Pigglesworth's adventures needed to be shared with children around the world. JoAnn has done book readings at libraries, schools, day care centers and churches.
