Meet Wild Boars

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sophie Blackall. The narrator introduces the reader to four wild boars who have atrocious manners. Although the text is lively, with a tart, direct address, and the illustrations are child-appealing, with lots of bathroom humor, the point of the book is obscure. If the wild boars are younger siblings, as hinted in the penultimate spread, the explanation will come too late for most readers.
