Handsome Hog is vain, selfish and rude. He won't talk to any animal that isn't as good-looking as him. When Prickly Porcupine digs a hole for himself, Handsome Hog decides to steal it, so as to avoid getting his tusks muddy. When Lion, Cheetah and Wild Dog take exception to Handsome Hog's snide comments, it looks like it'll all end in tears. ...Or warts.
If you can do what I couldn't, and get past that fact, then you'll enjoy ''Handsome Hog''. My thanks to the publishers for sending it to Bookbag.
[[Marvin's Funny Dance by Sarah McConnell]] is a fun tale of African animals. [[ROAR! by Margaret Mayo and Alex Ayliffe]] is lots of fun too. For a tale of comeuppance with a slightly different twist, check out [[That's Not Funny by Adrian Johnson]]. [[Cross Crocodile by Mwenye Hadithi and Adrienne Kennaway|Cross Crocodile]], the next book in the series, strikes a much better tone. You might also like [[The Hog, the Shrew and the Hullabaloo (A Harry and Lil Story) by Julia Copus and Eunyoung Seo]].
