Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Dewey Gets New Siblings
Beverly Lawrence · 2024
58/100
👎 Skip It
The Kunekune pig protagonist is genuinely charming and the farm setting is distinctive, but this debut from a first-time author through a Christian Faith Publishing imprint comes with the limitations of a self-published picture book — modest production profile, thin critical record, and a rural setting that won't connect with every young reader. The heart is in the right place, but without stronger editorial or critical endorsement it's hard to recommend over more established picture books on the same sibling-adjustment theme.
