illustrations throughout and printed in a unique diary format.
Nayu's thoughts
I enjoyed book #1 tremendously and book #3 is equally
hilarious and cute (I'm sure book #2 is, just haven't read it). Pig has some manners, takes great delight in less
savoury activities which younger readers in particular will find
amusing, and which are vital to the story. What unfolds is
unbelievable (in a good way), with Pig going to great lengths with
current and new friends to save Cow whose sense of adventure gets them all into trouble.
I was constantly flabberghasted
by the accidents Pig and co have, they are kind hearted & don't
exactly think their games through. But because of their damage
causing antics they are able to find Cow and get to freedom, with a
lot of help along the way. I love the unique meanings to ordinary
words in Pig language, and how other animals view humans. I think there are several layers of humour, obvious humour and some which older readers will pick up on. Pig is a
cheerful soul whose voice keeps me at the edge of my seat, making me
laugh and despair in equal measure. Another for the reread shelf!
