My Review:

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four Point One Stars

The wordless book was unexpected. It starts with a little girl enjoying her favourite snack - bacon wrapped pickle bites when her grandfather tells her the origin of the snack. 

The illustrations were vibrant and showed how Pickles the Pig destroys everything in his path.

There was a twist in the tale and the ending was unexpected and a little macabre. An interesting mix of humour and disaster.

Thank you for the e-Arc Netgalley.
