A Pig and a Poke by Tricia Gardella – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

A Pig and A Poke by Tricia Gardella
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Pig and a Poke is a children’s book, that while we’ll written, I didn’t like the topic. I chose to read it because my son and i have enjoyed other picture books by this author. I didn’t even know what was going on, and had to google it. Apparently its pig wrestling or pig scramble- was well described in the story. Angela and other children are chasing a pig around a pen, trying to catch it. If they can hold on long enough, they “win” the pig. The author did a good job portraying how the children may feel, tired, defeated, and finally, victorious. But, since I think this activity is pretty mean for the animal, I wouldn’t recommend this book to others. Read others by this author instead.
