The Pig--Pet, Pork or Sacrifice?
Arnold, Arthur
Children's Literature in Education, v19 n2 p80-85 Sum 1988
Discusses the various roles of the pig in children's books, including E. B. White's CHARLOTTE'S WEB and Nina Bawden's PEPPERMINT PIG. Notes that, although pigs are often used as metaphors for greed, gluttony, and squalor, the portrayal of pigs in children's literature is typically positive. (MM)
