This was my absolute favorite book as a child. I learned to read with this book and I can still recite pages and pages of it from memory. It's catchy, it's innocent, it's adorable and it's a family favorite.
I saw this book reviewed on Reading Rainbow. My 19 month old Daughter loves the silly rhyming words and pictures.
We received this book from our children's grandmother 30 years ago and it was a favorite for many years. We bought a new copy for our grandson to have and the first time I read it to him, his mother and her sister laughed and recited the story along with me. Great fun and wonderful memories of a really fun book.
Several years ago, my mom surprised me by buying me the paperback version. When I was a little kid, I looked for this book every time I went to the library. Eventhough I didn't know the author's name at the time or how to look up books, I would scour the shelves for purple books (the hardcover version back then was purple). I am so excited that now, at 36, with my first baby on the way, I will be able to share this beloved book with my children. The piggy is just so darn cute that I'm pretty sure it started my lifelong obsession with piggies.
My almost three year old friend Harrison just loves this book. He fell asleep cuddling this book two naps in a row. He waits on the edge of his seat for the NOPE. from the littlest piggie. This is a child that could not be torn away from books about trucks, especiallly trash trucks. The rhyming rythms of Charlotte Pomerantz saved Auntie Dawn from the rumble and roar of another front end loader.
