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":"Calkins Creek Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45087520063639,"sku":"9781684371716","price":1434.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781684371716.webp?v=1767640547","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-pig-war-how-a-porcine-tragedy-taught-england-and-america-to-share-9781684371716","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
