Nick Bland
This is a great story to share with children on the characteristics of kindness, being kind to others as well as in judgement of when you are unkind and put yourself greater than others, people just don't like you. As a family, laying your life down for another is something we both honour and strive for, that includes giving rather than receiving. King Pig is a classic story example of how this can be done and the result when we are unkind. Actually, the story is quite humorous and not as deep as I just put forth but definitely underlying in value.
The illustrations make this story even more humorous while the expressions on faces show the serious side of the story.
