This Little Piggy

I recently got this book from the library to read to my baby (he's due in June, but I'm sure he still manages to enjoy it!) and my 4 year old niece ended up dragging it to her house. It's 2 days overdue and we still cannot find it! She loved the book and took it everywhere with her, and now it might be anywhere in the city. It's a great book and great to read with young children. I had my niece count the piggies on each page and she loved it!

Again and again, "This Little Piggy" is pulled off a shelf and dragged across the house. "Book?" "Book?" "Book?" (which really means "Mama, do you have five minutes to pull me on your lap and read my favorite story to me?"). I'm not sure what there is about this book...Maybe it's the illustrations...maybe it's the "different" items that are placed on each page to discuss...Maybe it's the "squishy" touch-and-feel pigs....Maybe it's just because it's a great counting book...but he loves it!! I will be giving this to all my friends who are having children! It's definitely one of the top five toddler books out there!

The artwork in this book is adorable. Each page shows the pigs in a different fairy tale or nursery rhyme. After you've counted the piggies, you can go back to the book and identify each of the classic stories in the art. What a fun idea!
