Summary: Porko Von Popbutton
Comment: I came looking for this book! My son and I both remember reading it together about 15 years ago. It was the first book he found so hilarious he would roll off the bed laughing. William Pene duBois has a unique sense of humor as he relays (as I remember 15 years hence) the trials and tribulations of an overweight boy, Porko, away at school. The story held a unique mix of pathos and ridicule, as Porko decided to join the hockey team. We were drawn into the action as we laughed at him along with his schoolmates. Yet we were then able to empathize with Porko as his pain was revealed. At times we found ourselves feeling guilty about laughing. Yet Porko was a likable fellow and we liked him. Illustrations were interspersed within the story to make it a great transition from picture book to chapter book. The story moved along building in suspense and when we were done we were ready to read it again.
