Piggies

There is a real artistry in the pictures. I liked how the dirty little
piggies are mischevious and they are quickly followed by the angel
piggies. Then at the end when its bedtime, the piggies come together
like in prayer but they are really kissing each other goodnight.
Now I like the board book

format but with illustrations I find that its much better in the large format. I really feel this with my tiny copy of 'The Napping House'. I only realized that the flea was on the post at the end of the book when I reada the large hardcover version.

Concept Book. This is a great book! Each page is a counting book of fingers. As the book progresses there are 5 piggy characters on each hand with their own personalities. Little details make for fine observations. This teaches the concepts of fingers, opposites, and bedtime.

Pre K-1. Cute little stoires about fingers. Fun for younger children.

belly and then dance on my toes. They run away and hide and then when you put them together they give kisses. There are two fat kisses, two smart kisses, two long kisses, and two silly kisses. Then they give two small kisses goodnight. This book is great because it allows children to have an imagination about reading and counting on their fingers and toes.

This is a cute book about counting little piggies on 2 hands and all the things they do and what they are like before going to bed. The illustrations are very vibrant and add a lot of personality to each of the piggies. There is also a lot of repetition in the story so it would be a good beginning

"This little piggy" book just didn't tickle my funny bone like I expected it too. Ah, well.

This was a cute book that discribed how everyone's piggies can be good, bad, clean, dirty, hot, and cold. Small students would enjoy reading the book because the pictures are funny.

The story is simple yet cute and fun. The child discusses his/her five pairs of piggies (fingers, thumbs), assigning a temperament to each pair. great read for children.

Make sure you have good light and clean glasses before attempting to read this. There's so much detail in which to revel - it's the book read in the part of the bedtime ritual *before* tucking into bed. My favorite piggy is of course the smart one on the right hand, who is reading (or ocassionally

writing) in *almost* every scene.
