Description
Hambone is a normal, little pig who loves to wallow in mud, gobble corn cobs and play with his brother and sister on Farmer Brown’s acreage. But Hambone has a dream – he wants a dill pickle – a big, green, drippy, sour dill pickle. His dream is so compelling that Hambone leaves home to chase it. He meets with many colourful characters on his adventure, including a parrot, a chef and a really big elephant until at last – his dream comes true – but something unexpected happens to his tail as his dream becomes reality!
Hambone’s little tale teaches us that you really can believe in your dreams!
A delightful story showing how a simple act of kindness can make a big difference… to all involved!

“A delightful tale to read aloud. Hambone will leave you drooling for pickles!”

“Hambone is a charming farm story of a young, resourceful, and determined pig. Throughout Hambone’s adventures, he gently shows that it is ok to venture beyond your ‘farmyard’ in search of new things. The variety of descriptive language that Ms. Arnason writes for Hambone, and his surroundings, is so colourful and evokes imagination. The reader cannot help but imagine the little pig and his adventure in great detail. With Hambone’s kind spirit, he ends up with a tale for the ages.”
