(3) K-3 Backed by hard work and family support, pig Boomer competes in the Animal Olympics. Though he tries his best at running, wrestling, swimming, etc., Boomer finishes last every time. Disappointment fuels a temper tantrum, but some positive motherly words offer a fresh perspective. Illustrations packed with hilarious details (including snarky porcine-sports-commentator asides) accompany this underdog tale that's both realistic and uplifting.
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
