The Pigs can't wait to throw their annual Halloween party. But when Grandpa and Grandma Pig eat all of the candy, the Pigs have to make a last minute trip to the market, where Mrs. Pig wins a free shopping spree. Will the Pigs bring home enough sweets to share with their friends? Or will they pig out and keep all of the candy for themselves? Join Mr. and Mrs. Pig and the piglets on their trip to the store for pounds of Halloween fun! |
“Then Mrs. Pig went for four buckets of Pound O' Pumpkins, which were next to the Wiggly Worms on the shelf. "Mrs. Pig, you have three minutes left," warned a voice on the loudspeaker.”
