About the Artist: Several of Arthur Geisert’s children’s books contain pigs as the subject matter. Whether they are creating sculptures, teaching Roman numerals, or living daily life, swine dominate the pages of Geisert’s books. For example, in his book From Roman Numerals I to MM, 4,000 pigs collectively dominate the pages of his book. (from: “Who Wrote That? Featuring Arthur Geisert.” California Kids!. 2007. . Web.)
