Pigmares

Pigmares Porcine Poems of the Silver Screen By: Doug Cushman This little piggy went to the movies... When a young pig watches monster movies before bed, he’s in for some tail-curling nightmares. From poor "Pigzilla", who just can’t seem to get any sleep, to "Pig Kong", the vegetarian whose dinner never meets his dietary needs, each of the seventeen poems centers on a different monster classic with a pig twist. Doug Cushman’s illustrations evoke retro movie posters with hog-wild humor and bring each poem to life with devilish fun. With its playful verse, Pigmares is a great way to expose students to poetry and celebrate Halloween in all of its ghoulish glory. Kids will laugh themselves silly as they read this collection over and over again. Curious readers who wish to learn more about the familiar characters in each poem can read the back matter to find out what movies and literature acted as inspiration.
