Pig Pig Goes to Camp

The first Pig Pig book I read is Pig Pig Grows Up. I didn't even know he had made other books. Pig Pig Goes to Camp wasn't as good as Pig Pig Grows Up but it was still really funny. It is a good introduction to sleep-away camp for kids ages 7 - 9. The one part that I didn't like although many people think it's funny is that the Camp Director sends Pig Pig home because he's having too much fun and is too popular. I think the idea was that he was sent home because of all his little Frog friends but it comes across the wrong way.

This children's book goes into detail of what it is like to spend time away at Camp. What camp is like from leaving mom to sleeping at camp, sharing time with friends at camp. It adds to the camp activities by having Pig Pig make friends with frog. He makes so many friends that the frogs keep multiplying everywhere he goes. Eventually he makes so many frog friends, they send him home early with some of his new buddies. A must read for a child going to camp with a sense of humor.

He's off to camp. Treat yourself and your little ones to this great McPhail book. Boys and girls alike will love this book. Pig Pig makes some interesting friends while attending camp. It's bound to put a smile on your face and a giggle in your throat.
