Emer Stamp, The Super Amazing Adventures of Me, Pig, Scholastic, 1 January 2015, $12.99(pbk), 192pp., ISBN 978 1407155982
It is difficult to see how a farm full of animals finding a new home and better conditions in the UK countryside would have an immediate appeal to the young Australian reader. The mangled grammar of pig speak in which the story is told does not sit well with an older generation who may be called upon to read such a tale. Comic book meets scribble pad in a belaboured attempt at humour.
