The Christmas Pig | J. K. Rowling
40 posts | 27 read | 13 to read
A heartwarming, page-turning adventure about one child's love for his most treasured thing, and how far he will go to find it. A tale for the whole family to fall in love with, from one of the world's greatest storytellers. One boy and his toy are about to change everything... Jack loves his childhood toy, Dur Pig. DP has always been there for him, through good and bad. Until one Christmas Eve something terrible happens -- DP is lost. But Christmas Eve is a night for miracles and lost causes, a night when all things can come to life... even toys. And Jack's newest toy -- the Christmas Pig (DP's replacement) -- has a daring plan: Together they'll embark on a magical journey to seek something lost, and to save the best friend Jack has ever known...

🎥 Oh goodness. I love Belle, and the Genie, and Anna from Frozen. I can't pick just one! 😂

🎥 🎥 I think JK Rowling's The Christmas Pig would make an adorable movie.

4✨There was a lot going on in this book. A boys special toy pig is lost because of the actions of another. This brings him to the land of the lost to try to find him and bring him home. Gotta admit everything I lose now I‘m desperate to find! I cried quite a few times! Last book of 2022, now I‘m caught up 😅

“ Losing is part of living,” whispered DP into Jack‘s ear, his snout snuffling against Jack‘s hair. “But some of us live even though we‘re lost. That‘s what live does”… I‘m not crying 😭

Halloween has past, so Christmas books are fair game, right? This story is one big crazy magical adventure of a boy searching for his toy. The talking toys give major Toy Story vibes. Lots of feels- starts off sad, several scares along the way(on the same level as most Disney movies), but in the end love conquers all.

I read The Christmas Pig to my 7yr old. We loved the beginning but got bogged down in the middle. The story got a bit too abstract for her to follow along.

I hate the Rowling has doubled down on her TERF stance, but this book is like a Christmas Velveteen Rabbit meets the Island of the Misfit Toys, and it's sweet and magical and the audio is performed so well. And every time I read her books now, I make a donation to Trans Lifeline.

I really didn't know what to expect going into this book. I honestly didn't think it sounded that interesting. Yet, after finishing it, I thought it was a really good book. There were a lot of meaningful moments, a lot of truth, and even some really sad moments. I loved it. I really am astounded by how symbolic a lot of the story was. It was well thought through and showed great imagination.

🎧📚 I enjoyed this children‘s book. The summary says it all!

Jack is a little boy with a favorite Pig stuffy with beans in his tummy named Dur Pig, DP for short.

Jack‘s family life changes and he has to deal with an unreasonable step-sibling. Chaos rules. Choices need to be made.

Reminiscent of Rudolf‘s island of misfit toys & Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

A touching story if not a little scary for the young or easily scared.

A sweet story; reminds me of the island of lost toys from Rudolph, but a bit darker.🕯

The Christmas Pig has got to be one of the most charming, heart-warming Christmas books that I've ever read. Highly recommend (along with all these children's Christmas reads!)

251 points (I have a lot of #WGWordSearch points, too, but I'm waiting to share my total until the first week of Winter Games is done!)

Every year I usually put together a stack of holiday books to read between Thanksgiving and Christmas but there are a few other books this year that I really want to get to and finish before the start of the new year, so this time around I think I'm going to just stick with two of my absolute FAVORITE holiday reads and one brand new one! I'm also going to reread A Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve as per my tradition! 😁💕📚

The Christmas pig has a RRP of £20 but Amazon has it on offer to pre order at £10 or less. I've reserved a copy as my Grandson wanted it for his birthday in November.
