(4) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by Nina Spranger. Pablo, a former performing pig who enjoys his retirement in a small field at the edge of the city, narrowly escapes the butcher and finds a new home in a garden after his hut is bulldozed to make room for a development. Originally published in Switzerland, the sweet but slight text features an appealing character in an unlikely situation. Detailed watercolor illustrations capture both landscape and characters.
Reviewer: CHristine Sarrazin
