Reviews
Review for Pippin the Christmas Pig:
"Acclaimed children's author Jean Little ... turns the exhaustion of Christmas on its head to produce what should become a minor classic. ... [T]old with a sure-footed sense of storytelling economy. Little's story is perfectly complemented by Werner Zimmermann's sensitive pencil-and-watercolour illustrations...[the animals'] faces are very expressive."
