Half a Pig

(1) K-3 Illustrated by Jessica Ahlberg. A pig named Esmeralda gets caught in a custody battle between the divorced Harbottles, and two child-heroes help save the pig's bacon. Colored-pencil drawings aid readers in following the twists and turns of the pignapping and subsequent rescue-and-chase scenes. Everywhere is evidence of the rousing good fun of the printed word along with helpfulness in apprehending it.
Reviewer: Roger Sutton | Horn Book Magazine Issue: July, 2004
