A Day No Pigs Would Die par Robert Newton Peck
Very touching in some parts, too graphic in others. I decided it does not meet my shelf standard.

Sean191 | 34 autres critiques | Nov 15, 2021 | I through this will be about a boy who has a pet pig and he at odds with his father. Instead its a coming of age story. With a mix of laugh out lough and sad parts.
Just to let you know there are some brutal killing of animals. I couldn't stand reading through most of it.
I like Robert the way he has a lot of respect for his family and neighbors. He is quit a talker and will say the funniest of things, he also love his pet pig.
