SPECTRUM Children's Book Club Recommendation:
Reading Level: Ages 4-8 Mary's little porker was a real ham - an actor that is - and you can't keep someone with that much talent down on the farm. I took a stack of picture books to a restaraunt one noon so I could catch up with my review back log. At one point, the manager walked over and asked what was so funny for I was laughing out loud at this Mickey Rooneyesque from-the-farm-to-fame-on-broadway opus. However, I wonder if most kids will really appreciate how funny this book actualy is. Even the wonderful illustrations are dripping with theatrical humor - particularly the page of posters for such smash hits as The Pork Loin King, and Hamadeus. Heck, forget about the kids, get this book for yourself. - KB Shaw, Publisher SPECTRUM Children's Book Club www.incwell.com
Mary's little ham:
This is another great adaptation of a classic story. Mary has a ham instead of a lamb. This ham is destined for showbiz, maybe in "Cinderswine". It has puns and jokes that will keep adults chuckling, but kids will like it, too.
