Elaine's Reviews > The Good Good Pig: The Extraordinary Life of Christopher Hogwood

I heard Sy Montgomery, the author of this book, speak about it at the Children's Literature Institute at Simmons College in July 2007. I knew I had to read it. It's a true story about her amazing pig Christopher Hogwood--and about how he brought the author close to other people in her small town in New Hampshire. I absolutely LOVED this book! It's like the "Charlotte's Web" for adults. I give "The Good Good Pig" my highest recommendation.

Sy's husband, Howard Mansfield, has written a picture book about the pig entitled "Hogwood Steps Out: A Good, Good Pig Story." Roaring Brook Press is publisher of the book. It will be out in May.
