Review:
"Wild's poignant story about the death of Old Pig is full of warmth and, yes, joy." "--Publishers Weekly" "This heartbreaking, gentle, perfectly indirect story about the last days on earth of an elderly pig offers a better introduction to the fact and poetry of mortality than many a more studied attempt." --Adam Gopnik, writer, the "New Yorker" "A poignant but sidelong look at death--about as far from the didactic tomes as one can get." "--Kirkus Reviews" "Beautiful in its simplicity, this captures the essence of a life; and children, even little ones, cannot help but feel the love that infuses it." "--Booklist"
