The Moon of the Wild Pigs

A peccary piglet discovers that life is abundant in the Arizona's Sonoran Desert as it investigates interesting scents and stumbles on hidden dangers when it is temporarily separated from its clan.

A favorite of adults and children alike, George's entertaining and educational tales of nature alive and in action-Julie, Shark Beneath the Reef and Julie of the Wolves-have thrilled listeners for a generation. Barbara Caruso's inspired narration captures the vitality of life in the wild as a piglet discovers the wonders and dangers of its world.
