“But not at all fooled.”
This is a really powerful illustration. It shows how isolated she is.

I would consider this an interesting picture book because it used a wrap around cover.
“They are dirty and smelly, bad-tempered and rude. Do you like them? Never mind. They do not like you either.“
I would use this book in my classroom because it would be fun for the kids to interact with the book and help you read the parts where it says “stomp, stomp, stomp“ and other verbiage.
Meet Wild Boards written by Meg Rosoff and Sophie Blackall. This book follows the family of four wild boars named Boris, Morris, Horace, and Doris, and how they aren't nice or clean and they can't be trusted. This book is appropriate for all ages and the illustrations add life to the book.
This picture book has great illustrations that help tell the words of the story. This book wold be great for pre-k to second grade to teach children how not to act. It also has funny moments and appeals to children.
I would use this book in my classroom to talk about how not to act in the classroom and how the wild boars behavior was unacceptable.
“He'll sneer and he'll scratch stick up his snout up your jumper then eat all your chocolate and give you his fleas.“
So perhaps it is best if we all agree that there is no such thing as a nice wild boar. Then if you happen to run across one that is fluffy and sweet ( though chances are that you won‘t) you will be very pleasantly amazed.
This book is so much fun that if I didn‘t read it aloud to my class, I would want it in my library and recommend it to them. It‘s so much fun and an easy, enjoyable read.
“And as for Doris (who has never been good, not for one single second— not once not ever never) she will ask for a toy in case she gets lonely and scared in the dark. Dear little Doris! To which we say HA! Given half a chance (or even less) Doris will eat your very best whale, flippers and all.”
I don‘t think that I would read this book to a future class for a specific reason; I don‘t think it has much of a theme.
Genre: Picture Book
I wasn‘t a huge fan of this book; I was having a hard time trying to find the point of it. However, the pictures did a good job in conveying what was happening in the story and they matched up well with the text.
My friend gave me some wild boar meat, so I turned it into sausage and am cooking it up for dinner! Now I just need to pick a book to go with the meal!
