About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling anxious about their place in the world or struggling to navigate tricky social dynamics. It provides a safe, hilarious space to explore themes of misplaced trust and the realization that things are not always as they seem. Through the diary of a lovable and delightfully naive pig, the story tackles the scary concept of being deceived by those you trust, but does so with a heavy dose of absurdist humor that keeps the mood light. While the plot involves a somewhat dark realization (Pig discovers he is being fattened for dinner), the tone remains zany and approachable for children aged 7 to 10. It is a fantastic choice for kids who enjoy slapstick comedy and visual storytelling, helping them process big worries through the lens of a character who finds bravery in the most ridiculous circumstances.
