"For Benni, the annual State Fair is a much-anticipated break in her routine of overseeing museum exhibits, temperamental artists, and stubborn cattle. This year they are showing traditional African-American quilts. But when one is stolen and it leads to a cold-blooded murder, Benni realizes there is more to this fair, and she'll have to see who is really a wolf in sheep's clothing." --

A musical about the Frake family and their adventures at the Iowa State Fair. Each member of the family is out for a different prize--Father wants a blue ribbon for his favorite pig, Mother wants her prized pickles to finally win a prize and for their son and daughter the hunt is on for true love.

A cumulative, rhyming tale of an ordinary pig who leaps out of his boy's arms at a state fair and wallows in color after color, turning himself into a work of art.

Effie the cow dreams of winning a blue ribbon at the state fair, while her best friend Petunia the pig advises her to give up all that she truly enjoys in order to prepare for the big day.
