They are on fairly good terms--until one fateful morning when an innocent hog owned by a British man has the misfortune to eat some potatoes on an American farmer's land. In a moment of rash anger, Lyman Cutlar shoots Charles Griffin's pig, inadvertently almost bringing the two nations to war. Tensions flare, armies gather, cannons are rolled out . . . all because of a pig! Emma Bland Smith's humorous text and Alison Jay's folksy illustrations combine in this whimsical nonfiction picture book that models the principles of peaceful conflict resolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emma Bland Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1684371716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684371716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Calkins Creek Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 10.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e510807 \/ Pig War: How a Porcine Tragedy Taught England and America to Share\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2020 - Book Of Special Distinction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2020 pg. 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2020 pg. 49\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/08\/2020","brand":"Emma Bland Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44049533108479,"sku":"9781684371716","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0b2a9598-be86-40f3-825a-70325adc1e20.jpg?v=1685002047","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pig-war-emma-bland-smith-9781684371716","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
