My Pig Paulina

Hans Limmer, David Crossley (trans. Elke Wakefield)

‘I am fond of this … [My Donkey Benjamin and My Pig Paulina] are simple stories, told in words and mono snaps, of two little girls, Susi and Angelika, who live on an island in the Med with their parents … Gerald Durrell for the hippy generation.’

Alex O'Connell, The Times

‘Heart-warming tales aimed at 5-7-year-olds who share the little girls’ love for animals.’

The Weekend West

Angelika lives with her parents and her sister Susi on a beautiful Mediterranean island. She loves roaming the island with her favourite doll, Hippi, and when she adopts a piglet called Paulina, they have lots of fun together!

When a farmer wants to take Paulina away, Angelika knows she has to save her best friend. And thus begins their exciting adventure …

Published for the first time in English, My Pig Paulina is a splendid companion to the classic bestseller My Donkey Benjamin. With compelling, naturalistic photographs that allow children to imagine themselves into the story, it’s the perfect addition for any child’s bookshelf.

‘I am fond of this … [My Donkey Benjamin and My Pig Paulina] are simple stories, told in words and mono snaps, of two little girls, Susi and Angelika, who live on an island in the Med with their parents … Gerald Durrell for the hippy generation.’
