NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERAMAZON BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR SO FARUnlikely pig owners Steve and Derek got a whole lot more than they bargained for when the designer micro piglet they adopted turned out to be a full-sized 600-pound sow! In the bestselling tradition of pet memoirs such as Oogy, Dewey, and Giant George, the story of ESTHER THE WONDER PIG shows how families really do come in all shapes and sizes. In the summer of 2012, Steve Jenkins was contacted by an old friend about adopting a micro piglet. Though he knew his partner Derek wouldn't be enthusiastic, he agreed to take the adorable little pig anyway, thinking he could care for her himself. Little did he know, that decision would change his and Derek's lives forever. It turned out there was nothing "micro" about Esther, and Steve and Derek had actually signed on to raise a full-sized commercial pig. Within three years, Tiny Esther grew to a whopping 600 pounds.

"First, Jenkins and Walter opened their hearts to one very special pig, and now they are opening their doors and letting us in, too. ESTHER THE WONDER PIG is a tender, funny story that manages to sneak up behind you when you're least expecting it and change your life. Be prepared to fall in love-with a pig."Jasmin Singer, author of Always Too Much and Never Enough: A Memoir and co-host of Our Hen House<
Tommy Thompson is one methodical scientist. I would recommend this to all who enjoy a good fictional fantasy book that you get so involved with. Just recently downloaded Bernd S Koehling's Fintail history and am absolutely delighted.
Despite surfing the web prior to buying my new Fintail, this really is a complete compilation in one place! The author clearly has a passion for the marque and this shines through in this easy to read book.
There is a warmth and friendliness whilst describing this fantastic model and is a must for anyone interested in Finnie's or just looking to add to their knowledge of the Mercedes history!
Keep up the good work and thank you

AJM. However, the design could be improved for easier scanning through the use of a smaller type and less leading in between lines. Great fitness book (has workouts). For the next twenty-seven years, I became obsessed with those games and wondered would it have changed history
