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.","brand":"Emma Bland Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":48437991440596,"sku":"9781684371716","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_d329ff8a-3027-46da-8619-df570a966c00.jpg?v=1786136185","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9781684371716","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
