Maggie KneenNew York: Henry Holt, 2009
76 p. (Gr. K-3)
Young Hamlet is a pig who doesn't just love food, he "adores" it. Readers of this anthropomorphic tale follow Hamlet as he channels his love of gardening and cooking into running an inherited family restaurant, opening a cooking school, and throwing parties for the king. His keen wit and ability to make the best of any situation encourage readers to meet challenges and stick to their goals. Kneen's charming storyline and beautifully detailed illustrations offer a perfect transition for young readers ready to move beyond traditional picture books.
