Reviews

Zen Pig is a terrific book that discusses characteristics every child learns while growing up - patience, gratitude, compassion. You know those books where you attempt to read them out loud and you constantly have to turn the book to see the words better or you get tripped up with the poem's flow. In Zen Pig, the words' rhythm is fluid and made the book easy to read aloud. The drawings are amazing and the clear, simple morals that Zen Pig talks about are enhanced by them. In fact, many of Zen Pig's pages could stand alone as a card or poster. I know that I'm not the only one who thinks that because while reading the book, my wife would keep saying, "This would be a perfect print for a children's room." Beyond even my own review, my wife, an elementary school teacher who spends hours reading through children's books, thoroughly enjoyed Zen Pig and its message. It has been added to our shelf of favorites and we are sure it'll see heavy use in our household. I would highly recommend this book and will probably end up giving it out as gifts come holiday season. -J. Musselwhite, Franklin, TN
