Toot is outfitted with a kilt and learns many interesting things about Scotland - and he also meets a litter of puppies who can't talk! Meanwhile, Puddle and Opal, with some help from Tulip the Parrot, are decorating for Christmas. When Toot arrives in Scotland, he's greeted by his Uncle Bertie and taken to see Aunt Peg, who lives in a castle. The friends don't want to be separated at this special time of year, but Toot promises to be home by Christmas Eve. Toot has been invited to visit his Great-Great Aunt Peg in Scotland, while Puddle will be visited by his niece Opal. (?) They have very specific Christmas traditions, but this year is going to be different. Toot and Puddle are pigs and best friends, who live together in a small house in Woodcock Pocket, an area near Boston. Toot & Puddle: I'll Be Home For Christmas is based on a series of children's books by Holly Hobbie, who apparently shouldn't be confused with the doll of the same name. Is this how we want our children being raised? Why should the pigs get to wear all of the clothes and live in houses? What is this world coming to? Well, just a few weeks later, it's happened again in the newly released Toot & Puddle: I'll Be Home For Christmas. This occurs in fiction where some animals walk and talk like humans, while others don't. In my recent review for Jakers: Sheep on the Loose, I pointed out the travesty that is selective anthropomorphism. OK, I hate to sound like a conspiracy theory nut, but something is going on here.
