The Hog Prince

32 pp. | Dutton | January, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-525-47900-0 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jason Wolff. Confusing frog with hog, a fairy tells swine Eldon about a magic spell that will turn him into a prince after he kisses his "true love"; turns out, she's right under his snout. Readers will be tickled by the many fairy-tale cameo appearances (Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty) and the suffusion of piggy puns. The comical illustrations feature fittingly skewed perspectives.
