Will You Read to Me?

(4) K-3 Hamlet the pig's family isn't interested in poetry, so he reads his poems to his reflection in the pond. His sensitive works draw an audience of all the animals within listening distance. The be-your-own-pig message isn't subtle, but the text's creative imagery will appeal to budding poets, and the pastoral illustrations add personality to Cazet's characters and setting.
