A Pig and a Poke by Tricia Gardella – Review by Kerry Baker

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

This book was an instant hit in our household when we read it. The kids loved the idea of a pig wrestling competition, and the book spawned a whole conversation about what they would each do to catch a pig. They thought the whole thing was so entertaining and they were cheering for Angela the whole way through it.
The book does a great job at teaching perseverance and how to stand up for yourself. It shows kids that it isn’t always those who shout the loudest who become the victor. I loved the messaging throughout this book and that, combined with how much my kids loved the book in general, made this one of my favourite reads so far this year. This is a book I would highly recommend.
