Wild Boars Cook
by Meg Rosoff and Sophie Blackall
If you’re looking for a kids’ book that brings out lots of giggles during storytime, look no further than “Wild Boars Cook”. Meet Boris, Morris, Horace and Doris, four disgustingly lovable porcine characters that decide to bake a Massive Pudding. The baking starts off with normal ingredients, like “ten cups of sugar…five hundred chocolate-covered chocolates and a gross of donuts.” Then the hungry boars decide to take their culinary expertise to the next level by adding “one and a half puddles, a bucket of squishy butter, 26 bananas, and a squid.” My daughter Alexis especially finds the squid too funny! I also absolutely love Blackall’s superb illustrations of the long-snouted mischievous boars. Perfect book for your preschooler!
