I went looking for books at Aqua Books, my favourite used book store which is closing (or transforming) soon and selling off its books at half-price. I particularly wanted a book about a pig for the Monopoly challenge (I'll explain why in the release notes). This seemed to fit the bill and I was particularly pleased to find a chapter book.
It's a story about a boy named Jeremy who lives on a farm in Vermont and his special pig, Hambone.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
I left this book on a bench in front of the Fort Whyte main building.
To market, to market to buy a fat pig;
Home again, home again jiggety-jig.
Team Train landed on the Market square for Round 11 and this nursery rhyme immediately popped into my head. Fort Whyte may not seem like a conventional market but part of the operation at this nature centre is Fort Whyte Farms. Last year we bought ham and pork roasts from their pasture-raised Berkshire hogs (which were delicious, far better than conventional pork from a supermarket). So when I was thinking of a place that celebrates pigs Fort Whyte popped into my mind. Since it is also a place that lots of children like to go I am hoping that some young person will pick up this book.
There is also a somewhat esoteric tie in with our team which is Team Train. Fort Whyte was named after William Whyte who worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). This link is a brief history of how Fort Whyte was named.
