However, even though it is meant for an earlier reader some assistance with some some words might be needed (example: buoyant) but overall it is easy to read. There is “boy humor” without being “gross” and there are puns, silliness and friendship. There are two mini comics as well in this for the young reader graphic novel (ages 5 to young 8/grades kindergarten to second grade). Each story is a stand-alone chapter, but everything is tied together at the same time. The stories are simple, Baloney is featured in his book along with his friends Peanut the horse, Bizz the bumblebee and Krabbit a crabby rabbit. Baloney and Friends by Greg Pizzoli should find a cozy place on the shelves of your local bookstore right next to series like Elephant & Piggie by Mo Willems or Narwhal & Jellyfish by Ben Clanton.

Then there came a moment when the first shock had worn off and when, in spite of everything-in spite of their terror of the dogs, and of the habit, developed through long years, of never complaining, never criticising, no matter what happened-they might have uttered some word of protest. The pigs have become one with the human farmers because both groups are equally corrupted by the reality of political power. It was as though the world had turned upside-down. In Animal Farm ’s final pages, the animals watch the pigs dining with human farmers, and find they are unable to tell the difference between humans and pigs. Knowing that he will soon die, Old Major gives a speech in which he reveals to the animals that men cause all the misery that animals endure. One night, a boar named Old Major gathers all the animals of Manor Farm together. Amazed, terrified, huddling together, the animals watched the long line of pigs march slowly round the yard.
