From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2The promise of a fun-filled romp with a neon-pink pig proves disappointing. Rosie begins her pig-perfect morning with a bucket of swill, a welcome wallow in the mud, and a blissful snooze. Abruptly awakened by a blast of water, she is hosed, scrubbed, and caged by her owner, Luke, who frightens Rosie with talk of her hamming it up for a mysterious Mr. Porkpie. Ominous rain clouds appear as Luke pedals his bicycle to town with Rosie strapped to the back. There Rosie is hoisted onto a scale while Mr. Porkpie smacks his lips and proclaims, Lets shoot her right now! A turn of the page reveals that the man wants to photograph the pig in a variety of awkward poses with odd accessories including a baby bonnet, flowers, and a tutu. Finally, Rosie has had enough and bolts from the studio, refusing to stop until she reaches the safety of her pen. Bender brings Rosie to the forefront, highlighting her very pinkness with his use of dusky purple, blue, and brown backdrops. Like the star of a bad movie, Rosie steals the show; its just too bad that the story is so awkwardly silly. The intended audience probably wont even get the joke. An extra at very best.Alicia Eames, New York City Public Schools
