Cousin John: The Story of a Boy and a Small Smart Pig

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Bert Dodson. In this gentle memoir, journalist Paine describes his exploits as a nine-year-old boy taking care of his pet pig in 1932 then-rural Brookline, Massachusetts (now a Boston suburb). While the tone tends toward instruction rather than entertainment, the slow, episodic pacing and pastoral viewpoint may, in the right hands, find an appreciative audience.
