A Pig Parade Is a Terrible Idea

40 pp. | Simon | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-7922-7 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. This tongue-in-cheek book explains why an orderly pig parade, featuring a spiffy, disciplined marching band, could never happen. Pigs, for example, "prefer to snuffle" instead of marching upright; they enjoy country, not marching-band music; and they refuse to don majorette uniforms. Hawkes's large acrylic illustrations make the most of the joke, zooming in on scenes of messy, disorderly porcine behavior.
