Bienvenido a San Juan, Puerto Rico!
Come join Sir Pigglesworth, his mom, dad and his good friends, JoAnn and Bill, as they tour this tropical island paradise, from getting bombarded with coconuts by monkeys in the El Yunque rainforest to engaging in a pretend battle at Fort Morro to chasing iguanas.

About the Author
Wagner, Joann: - "JoAnn Wagner was born in New York in 1951 and grew up just outside of New York City. She spent 20 years upstate in Kingston, NY before moving to Mesquite, TX, a suburb of Dallas, in 1986. She recently retired, having worked for 25 years at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Her hobbies include kickboxing, reading, cruising, yoga, and writing. JoAnn is married, and between her and her husband they have 5 wonderful children and 6 beautiful, rambunctious grandchildren. The Sir Pigglesworth's Adventure Series was born when JoAnn's church gave out a flying pig stress ball for the congregation to take around over the summer and post pictures on Facebook. Everywhere she went people smiled and laughed, and were excited to have their picture taken with Sir Pigglesworth, as she dubbed the pig. The idea blossomed until it became clear that Sir Pigglesworth's adventures needed to be shared with children around the world. JoAnn does book readings at school, libraries and churches. She passes out a pig nose for each child to wear during the reading - they love it and try to see who can snort the loudest! They get to keep the nose. JoAnn even wears one during the reading...the kids think it's hilarious! Since kids like to get stuff, JoAnn gives them custom made Sir Pigglesworth bookmarks that are written in English on one side and Spanish on the other, and I Love to Read stickers. Because of our large Hispanic population, JoAnn is planning on having her books available in Spanish soon."
