Inspired by the story of John Moore-Brabazon, pioneer aviator who in 1909 put a small pig in a basket and took it up in an aeroplane, 'to prove that pigs could fly.' This fully illustrated book takes the viewpoint of Silas, a bored little pig. His imagination is sparked by the idea of travelling in a flying machine, when his mother tells him; "Pigs can't fly, you know." It's Silas's good fortune to live on a farm where a man is building an aeroplane in a barn. The book was created for reading aloud to small children and has a bright, colour illustration on every page.
