Tiny and Pinky: The Great Curiosity Adventure is a warm, illustrated early reader created for children ages 6-8 who are beginning to read more independently while still enjoying stories with clear pictures, gentle humor, and meaningful lessons.
Tiny is a thoughtful spotted potbelly pig who likes to observe, solve problems, and think before he acts. Pinky is a playful white goat who brings energy, creativity, and laughter wherever she goes. Together, they live on Harris Hollow Farm, where an ordinary day can quickly turn into a learning adventure.
When a mysterious map blows into their pen, Tiny and Pinky follow the Curiosity Trail through a series of challenges: a tricky gate, a wobbly bridge, a tall cornfield, an apple orchard, and a hidden burrow beneath Grandmother Oak. Each stop gives them a new problem to solve and a new opportunity to practice patience, teamwork, kindness, observation, and creative thinking.
This book was designed to give young readers more than just a story. Each chapter includes educational elements that encourage children to slow down, think, ask questions, and connect what they are reading to the real world. The "Curiosity Pause" questions invite children to consider what they would do in the same situation, while the "Did You Know?" sections introduce simple, age-appropriate facts about pigs, goats, animal behavior, balance, problem-solving, and farm life.
Parents and caregivers can use the story as a natural starting point for conversations about helping others, trying again after something does not work, solving problems in different ways, paying attention to details, and understanding that people and animals can contribute in different ways.
The book also includes interactive activities that encourage children to remember what they read, create their own Curiosity Trail, and think about where kindness belongs in their own world.
Inside the book, readers will find:
- 10 illustrated chapters
- A picture on every story page
- Real animal facts
- Curiosity Pause questions
- Problem-solving and observation activities
- Themes of friendship, patience, teamwork, and kindness
- A make-your-own Curiosity Trail activity

Tiny and Pinky: The Great Curiosity Adventure is designed to be educational without feeling like a lesson. It gives children a gentle, entertaining story while helping them practice comprehension, curiosity, decision-making, and independent thinking.
For families, classrooms, homeschool reading, or bedtime reading, Harris Hollow Farm offers a simple promise:
Read the adventure. Discover something real.
