Lovely book to read to younger grandchildren
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
My grandchildren have all loved this book. Now I'm going to get another one to read to my two youngest grandchildren. The illustrations are delightful and encourage discussion about the different piggies. There aren't too many words on the pages, so the little ones don't get too restless. This book provides one of those precious opportunities for grandparents or parents to share quality time with toddlers while encouraging imaginaton and a love of books. I would recommend it for children 9 months through 3 years.
Praise for Piggies

Piggies by Audrey and Don Wood, is absolutely wonderful. The illustrations are magical and the text flows nicely and is well spaced and placed. The book is a terrific variation on the "This little piggy" theme. I also love the size of this book. There are so many wonderful details in the illustrations and it is fun just to sit and study the ways in which each little piggy is presented from one page to the next. This is a book I will definitely save for my children's children.
A Family Favorite

The story in Piggies is cute, but the best part of the book is the detailed illustration. Every "piggie" has his or her own personality. One is a "bookworm," always reading even when in the bathtub. One of the "long" piggies is always stretching out, and one of the "fat" piggies is always munching on something. It's fun to see what each character is doing next in the pictures. You can read it over and over again, and always catch something new that's happening. For a mom who has to read the same story over and over again, this is a wonderful relief. I actually enjoy looking at this book every time I have to read it to my 2 year old son. We also act out the story, which amuses him to no end.
Happy Piggies

My son (who is now 11) loved this book when he was a toddler. Now his 2 year old sister adores it too. The illustrations are both beautifull and funny. My daughter loves to play "where's the ..." with the action packed pictures. I toddler must read!
An old story with a fun new twist and fantatsic illustration
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The story is an old one, but this book is highly original. Don Wood's illustrations add a distinct and engaging personality to each of the ten piggies. My 16 month old son loves the goofy faces and elaborate visuals that show basic ideas: tall, wee, hot, cold, clean, dirty, good. I love the clever character twists on each gorgeous page. The subtle and silly sub-texts allow adults to enjoy the book too!
