OUR VERY FIRST REVIEW IS IN
Reviewed by Tiffany F. for Readers' Favorite
In Pig With A Crown, we speculate what might happen if you put a crown on a pig. How would the creature react? Will he be a good or bad leader? If you put the crowned pig in a gorgeous palace, will the crowned pig be grateful or say it’s not good enough. Would he be a terrible husband and king? Would his followers be just as bad as he is? Could crowning a pig be a terrible mistake with repercussions that will be hard to repair?
I thought Erik Eff did an amazing job on this children’s book. Pig With A Crown might be a picture book intended for children, but adults can certainly enjoy the content and be able to tie this animal with a very real leader of our time. Personally, all I could think about when reading this book were some bad politicians in past and present history. It’s a children’s book but it could be read as satire for adults. It also teaches children a very valuable lesson about what kind of person you wouldn’t want to grow up being. Irving Herrera did a wonderful job with the illustrations and they worked so well with the story itself.
This has to be one of the best children’s books that I have read this year.
