By: Sy Montgomery"In loving yet unsentimental prose, Sy Montgomery captures the richness that animals bring to the human experience. Sometimes it takes a too-smart-for-his-own-good pig to open our eyes to what most matters in life.”
—John Grogan, author of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog
A naturalist who spent months at a time living on her own among wild creatures in remote jungles, Sy Montgomery had always felt more comfortable with animals than with people. So she gladly opened her heart to a sick piglet who had been crowded away from nourishing meals by his stronger siblings. Yet Sy had no inkling that this piglet, later named Christopher Hogwood, would not only survive but flourish—and she soon found herself engaged with her small-town community in ways she had never dreamed possible. Unexpectedly, Christopher provided this peripatetic traveler with something she had sought all her life: an anchor (eventually weighing 750 pounds) to family and home.
The Good Good Pig celebrates Christopher Hogwood in all his glory, from his inauspicious infancy to hog heaven in rural New Hampshire, where his boundless zest for life and his large, loving heart made him absolute monarch over a (mostly) peaceable kingdom. At first, his domain included only Sy’s cosseted hens and her beautiful border collie, Tess. Then the neighbors began fetching Christopher home from his unauthorized jaunts, the little girls next door started giving him warm, soapy baths, and the villagers brought him delicious leftovers. His intelligence and fame increased along with his girth. He was featured in USA Today and on several National Public Radio environmental programs. On election day, some voters even wrote in Christopher’s name on their ballots.
But as this enchanting book describes, Christopher Hogwood’s influence extended far beyond celebrity; for he was, as a friend said, a great big Buddha master. Sy reveals what she and others learned from this generous soul who just so happened to be a pig—lessons about self-acceptance, the meaning of family, the value of community, and the pleasures of the sweet green Earth. The Good Good Pig provides proof that with love, almost anything is possible.

Great kid stuff
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Spray
This stuff is great and works well for kids and adults alike. Used at the zoo this past week and on my young kid almost every day. Yes, really, but does really well. I have not had any burns or irritation with this product. Spray, rub and go. Easy to carry and a lot of product in each can.

Definitely worth the money I still bought 2 of these bottles, but I found it locally cheaper in stores so I would check them out first but I do still highly recommend because of how good it works!

I am an adult tennis player and have been using this specific Banana Boat for Kids sunscreen for years. It is not runny or oily and does not sting eyes. I recommend it.

Won’t sting but too white
Color: Lotion, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Kids
It won’t stay in your eyes but it makes your face look white. I’m looking for a Sunscreen that is trans parent and won’t sting.
