Pigmares: Porcine Poems of the Silver Screen

40 pp. | Charlesbridge | July, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58089-401-2 $12.95
(4) K-3 In seventeen humorous poems accompanied by watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations akin to vintage film posters, Cushman pays homage to classic movies through a porcine lens. While the puns are successful, the mostly mid-twentieth-century movies parodied are likely unappreciated by young children. An appended "Movie Credits" section outlines the inspiration for each poem.
