Hubert the Pudge: A Vegetarian Tale

32 pp. | Candlewick | November, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-1992-2 $16.99
(3) K-3 Hubert, a pig-like horned "pudge," escapes from Farmer Jake's Pudge Processing Farm, but he can't enjoy his freedom until he liberates his friends. In this entertaining if thinly disguised animal-rights manifesto, the happy ending rests on the commercial success of tofu hot dogs. Visible line strokes and heavy texturing define the wildly humorous colored-pencil and ink illustrations.
Reviewer: Nell Beram
