Description
Poor pig number one may never get to sleep! In this swine-stuffed count-along bedtime book, one ham-bunctious pig after another comes crowding into her bedroom --- each with its own special way to keep the poor little pig awake. Pig number two turns on the light. Pig number three likes to watch TV all night. Four's a juggling boar --- and there are still six more! With new hogs arriving by the minute, pig number one's bedroom is wall-to-wall pig-demonium. Will this weary little pig ever hear the Bard's immortal words: “Goodnight, sweet pig”?
Here is a counting book that uses irresistible rhymes to send children off to sleep, night after night.

Review Quotes
This is a well-done go-to-sleep book ...
— Quill & Quire
The story is told in a simple rhyme ... The illustrations are bright and humorous ... Goodnight Sweet Pig would not only help small children learn their numbers but would also make an excellent bedtime story for restless children.
