by Robert Newton Peck ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 25, 1976

Fat was his future. Fat was his fate. This was no problem for Hamilton Pig, For a pig is just downright SUPPOSED to be big."" Exactly.

Lydecker's pastel barnyard and skinny, dog-like wolf look appropriately, nostalgically old-fashioned, but Peck's attempt to find a new wrinkle in the type A standard picture book plot is just too mechanical. Featherweight.
