Book Reviews of Henrietta
Book Review: Intelligent Pig Perseveres
Summary: 5 Stars
Henrietta is an endearing story of a young pig who wants an education very badly. She specifically wants to study law at a good institution. In her pursuit of learning, she attempts to use libraries and tries to attend lectures, but is often thrown out of those places of discovery because, after all, she is just a pig. This is a new look at prejudice!
This story is presented as a story for children and I really liked the fact that the vocabulary chosen by David Mamet is not the usual fare. Some of the words will need an explanation which adds another dimension to the book. The little fable is greatly enhanced by the illustrations of Elizabeth Dahlie who makes Henrietta real and shows how she looks in good times and in bad. One drawing in particular made me laugh out loud and the image has remained in my mind. The book has general appeal and could even be a "coffee table" book.
