The other titles in the series include the following titles: Chickens on teh Family Farm, Goats on the Family Farm, and Sheep on the Family Farm.

It is mentioned this family raises their pigs for meat and the different times of meat that come from pigs, however it does not go into further detail about how the meat is acquired ~ which I appreciate. A minimal life cycle of a pig is also included at the end of the book. One two page spread shows five different breeds of pigs (Berkshire, Duroc, KuneKune, Tamworth, and Yorkshire). and ANIMAL ZOMBIES & OTHER REAL-LIFE MONSTERS (a Top 10 YALSA Quick Pick, NatGeoKids).

The "Words to Know" (glossary) is at the beginning of the book, which is perfect placement for introducing words that will be encountered while reading. The color photographs are large and have boxed text with additional information about the family's daily routine of taking care of their pigs. The text provides a great deal of information in vocabulary easy enough for young readers to understand. Pigs on the Family Farm is a wonderful (non-fiction book for young children.
