Book Reviews of Pete & Pickles
Book Review: NOT FOR CHILDREN!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought this book was a very interesting read, but this would scare the you-know-what out of my kids! Very dark and creepy! First the pig's dream about drowning and the dead pig floating in water, then the scary clown that shows up at his door to take away the elephant (who standing against his wall trying to hide was creepy enough on her own), to the scene at the end of the elephant, seen from above completely submerged in water in the pig's house, is drowning. The illustrations weren't intended to be humorous, and they certainly weren't. They were shocking, even to this adult woman. I thought this was a really good book, but faaaaar too creepy for kids. It gave *me* the creeps!
Summary of Pete & Pickles
Pete is a perfectly predictable, practical, uncomplicated pig. At least, he was . . . before a runaway circus elephant named Pickles stampeded into his life, needing a friend. Pickles is larger than life and overflowing with imagination. She takes Pete swandiving off Niagara Falls. (Sort of.) And sledding down the Matterhorn. (Sort of.) Pete goes along for the wild ride and actually begins to enjoy himself . . . until Pickles goes too far. And Pete tells her she must leave.Yet sometimes the simple life isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Berkeley Breathed offers two new irresistible characters and a heartfelt, hilarious look at the rarity of true friendship.
