Book, review, kinda

[nwhiker]

I desperately want to buy this book for Linnea. It's a kids book, but she'd love it.

But Linnea has been asking for a pig for Christmas and her birthday, at the top of her list, since she was a tiny tot.

So maybe not.

But how could I not have her read a book that starts out like this (Any errors mine).

Jasmine was lying on her bed with her cats, reading her favorite magazine, Practical Pigs.

Anyhow, book: Jasmine Green Rescues: A Piglet Called Truffle by Helen Peters and illustrated by Ellie Snowdon.

Such a sweet fun little book. I loved the family dynamics, I loved the mom-vet, I loved that Jasmine is a little girl of color (her mom is Dr Singh, her grandmother is nani), I loved the piglet, Truffle, I loved the beautiful illustrations, and I loved that it made me smile. Sweet but not cloying. Too much mud to be cloying.
