Beyond the Fence

(3) K-3 Unassertive children, particularly younger siblings, may cheer Piggy's liberation from domineering boy Thomas, who's always called the shots in their household. After meeting Wild Pig, Piggy throws off his clothes and escapes to choose his own destiny. The simple text is much enhanced by Gulemetova's color-saturated, atmospheric illustrations--particularly those enticing green pastures beyond the fence.
