The Wise Pickle

By: Sarah Howden
 
A pickle arrives out of nowhere.
 
"I have lived a lot of life," it says.
 
As the pickle slowly withers in the hot sun, the local animals ask it questions. Questions like "Do you ever get bored?" and "Are you hungry?" and "Why are we here?"
 
The pickle has all the answers.
 
Except one: what happens next?
 
A truly weird and wonderful book, The Wise Pickle will charm readers big and small with its combination of subtle humor, pathos and ridiculousness, all perfectly captured in Sabina Hahn's delightful illustrations.
