YOUNGER FICTION
Mullarkey, Lisa

Freckles the Pig

(4) 1-3 Calico Kid: Farmyard Friends series. Illustrated by Paula Franco. New readers can enjoy Storm Cliff Stables (from Mullarkey's Pony Girls and Storm Cliff Stables series)--this time, from the barn animals' perspectives. The facile transitional-reader stories include tame conflict (e.g., Gaston the goat battles his fear of thunderstorms) and silly wordplay (pig Freckles channels artist "Pablo Pigasso" to spiff up the dark barn). The characters are energetically rendered in the slick color illustrations. Review covers these Calico Kid: Farmyard Friends titles: Daisy the Cow, Freckles the Pig, Gaston the Goat, and Golden Girl the Chicken.
