The Peppermint Pig by Nina Bawden

2.0

Bawden is a great writer. I just couldn't bear to recommend this very highly because it is so deeply upsetting. You are left bereft and uncomforted at the end, and whilst some may feel that is something a child needs to experience as a reader, I disagree. I also don't think it is signposted well enough for the age of reader, and so I wouldn't give it to a child to read. It left me feeling like I had an open wound, and I'm in my forties!
