Pierre the pink pig (Pierre le cochon rose) teaches his farmyard friends French.
Pierre was a little pink pig, raised in the South of France.
He liked to play, and eat croissants, and in the mud he’d dance.
His elderly farmer, Madame Delphine, is now too old to keep her farm.
So she seeks another home for Pierre, saving him from harm.
Upon arriving at his new home, Pierre discovers his new farmyard friends – a kindly goat, dairy cows, a grumpy cat, a tall horse, some chickens and a duck – only speak English.
So he sets about to teach them from French words, phrases and introduce them to French foods and games.
