[ 책 소개 ]
천재작가 제임스 마샬(글)과 모리스 센닥(그림)이 함께 만든 그림책. Swan Lake(백조의 호수) 대신에 Swine lake(돼지의 호수)라는 제목에서 알 수 있듯이, 돼지 발레리나들의 공연을 본 가난하고 배고픈 늑대가 발레에 푹 빠져서 발레 덕후가 되는 재미있는 이야기입니다.
배고픈 늑대는 통통한 돼지를 잡아 먹기 위해 발레공연이 열리는 극장에 들어갑니다. 어느 귀부인으로부터 우연찮게 무대에서 가장 가까운 특석 표를 얻은 늑대는 1막이 공연되는 동안 어느 돼지부터 잡아먹을까 관찰하다가 공연의 줄거리를 이해하게 되고, 점점 발레의 재미에 푹 빠지게 됩니다. 결국 돼지를 잡아먹지 못한 늑대는 집으로 돌아와서 잠을 잘 때도 발레 꿈을 꿀 정도로 발레공연이 준 충격에서 벗어나지 못합니다. 다음날 늑대는 그동안 한푼두푼 모아온 돼지 저금통을 깨서 다시 발레 공연을 보러가게 되고, 공연 도중에 괴물이 나오는 장면에서 자신도 모르게 무대로 뛰어 들게 됩니다. 그리고는 돼지 발레리나들과 함께 춤을 추게 되고, 모든 관객들은 늑대가 변장한 발레리노인 것으로 생각했지요. 늑대가 출연한 장면은 지역 신문에서 큰 호평을 받게 되고...
튼튼한 하드커버책입니다.

Book Description
When a lean and mangy wolf stumbles into the Boarshoi Ballet, he finds tasty pigs a-plenty, twirling and whirling in a performance of Swine Lake. Faced with all those luscious porkers, whats a hungry wolf to do? Well, something totally surprising, as it turns out.
Pure fun from Marshall and Sendak--an incomparable duo!
School Library Journal
It's hog heaven! Sendak, with his signature style, and Marshall, with his delicious wit, are the perfect pair to ham up a spoof on ballet. The scrumptious smell of pigs draws a lean and mangy wolf to the New Hamsterdam Theater where a matinee of "Swine Lake" is being performed by the Boarshoi Ballet. With opportune timing, a fat old sow offers the penniless wolf a ticket for a box seat that ideally positions him for a leap onto the stage. As the plump and juicy dancing pigs interpret the story, the wolf gets so caught up in the excitement and drama that he forgets to make his move. He returns that night, after breaking his piggy bank to buy a ticket, and is so carried away by the music that he leaps to the stage and takes over the role of the monster. The next day a newspaper review cites the special guest appearance as the highlight of the evening: "It was almost as if a real wolf had appeared on the stage." Among the visual puns of ballet and literary references, discerning eyes will notice some discordant notes: a mismatch of blockish typeface for the swirl and flourish of the illustrations, and inconsistency in the time frame. Still, the composition of the pictures seats readers front stage to relish the hijinks of this wickedly funny pig tale. The end result is swinely divine.
Booklist
Just a look at the dust jacket and you know you're in for fun: two chubby piglets prance on a stage while a lip-licking wolf leans out of his balcony seat. Oh yes, the names on the jacket don't hurt either. Maurice Sendak and the late James Marshall combine their considerable talents in this spoof with a heart. When a hungry, mangy wolf finds that a production of "Swine Lake" is being mounted at the New Hamsterdam theater, he can barely keep the saliva from dribbling. The wolf manages to snag a seat and expects to spend the performance deciding when to leap on the stage and make off with one of the dancers. But a funny thing happens as the wolf watches--he becomes, first, involved and, then, enthralled by the story of the wedding couple and the ferocious monster that pursues them. So moved is the wolf that he breaks into his piggy bank to buy a ticket to the next day's performance--where he finally does jump onto the stage. Not to eat piggies, but only to dance with them. Both Marshall and Sendak are cleverly comic here, but it is the unexpected twist of the wolf falling prey to the magic of the theater that sets this above what might have been only a spoof in the hands of lesser talents. Except for the ending, which falls a bit flat, the text shines. Sendak's art captures the nuance as well as all the humor of the story. The wolf's evolution from pork-crazed predator to besotted balletomane is depicted by the droop of a shoulder, the turn of a mouth, but the funny stuff is over-the-top, especially the onstage antics. Grown-up kids will like this as much as little ones.
Kirkus Reviews
With a connection between plot and pictures that's often fitful, this patchy star vehicle is more likely to confuse than amuse. Wandering into an unfamiliar neighborhood, a wolf smells pig and, intoxicated, gains entry to a theater in which the Boarshoi Ballet is performing Swine Lake. His lust for pork abruptly vanishes and a new balletomane is born; he is so enthralled by the performance that he returns the next night, where he, to subsequent critical acclaim, impulsively leaps on stage. Although the text expertly evokes the grand illogic of most ballet plots, the prose is wordy and the pacing uneven. Sendak's illustrations tell a somewhat different tale than Marshall's, portraying a shabby wolf deliberately seeking out the company; the artist also seems more intent on packing each scene with stage business, dance references, in-jokes, and tributes than filling in gaps, such as the mysterious disappearance of the first night's ``monster'' (a lion). The author's and illustrator's names guarantee good sales, but children are unlikely to care for this, and as a memento mori, it falters next to Marshall's The Owl and the Pussycat.
