Pig Books

I am so impressed by all the books in this series/line! My 18-month-old daughter loves them, and I even enjoy looking at them. There is almost always something I didn't notice the last time, and we both enjoy looking at all the things that are going on in every single picture.

Even the way the books are shaped is neat: the one about pirates is shaped like a pirate ship. The one about the old woman's shoe is shaped like a shoe. And so on. And the pages are some of the thickest I've ever seen in a board book, so I know they're going to last a long time if they stay dry!

I highly recommend any/all of the Charles Reasoner board books to other parents. They are utterly enjoyable as well as being very sturdy.

I read this book to my child and it's excellent! Actually i know it's only for children but i enjoyed reading it too! It was absolutely lovely! i really recommend this book to others. It was recommended to me by my good friend, Liz. She is also lovely. But this book shows children the aspects of homes and sharing and should not be selfish. This is important for everyone to learn, and the sooner the better. So read this book!

This is one of a series of 3-D children's books that is just great. Not only are the stories cute, but the thick cut-out pages of the book create a great looking display in a child's room. A great gift item for small children and their parents.

This story is very small but also very touching. It provides a good lesson in helping people and animals and in priorities. I really look forward to reading this book to my class.

Adventures of Countess Pigula: "Her Royal Imagination" is a picturebook intended for young readers in grades K-3, about taking proper care of a pet guinea pig. Though the title guinea pig Countess Pigula is slightly anthropomorphized, her regular routines from feeding time to bath time to toenail trimming are all standard tasks guinea pig owners need to perform, though related in the snooty tone of a noble receiving proper tribute from her "subjects". "When it is time to clean her lovely cage of blue, she will want the best above the rest. No ordinary bedding will do. 'Nice job! Ahh! There is nothing like the smell of fresh pine bedding. It is my favorite you know. Now, don't forget. I insist my bedding must be at least three inches deep. Anything less just will not do.'" The final page spells out responsibilities and rewards of being a guinea pig pet owner. A "must-have" for any young person considering a pet guinea pig of their own.

This book has been very popular in my third grade classroom. This book along with the others in the "Hector" series are consistently checked out of the classroom library by my students. As a teacher I am always excited to find books that capture my students' imagination the way these books have. The kids are drawn to the books by the individual adventures that each story offers, and keep returning to the stories because of their repeated themes of friendship, devotion, and connection to home. These are themes that all my third graders relate to. We're hoping that more will come in this fine series.

I highly recommend "The Adventures of Margaret Mouse" for all children from kids that you read to through elementary school. The author has written books that are easy for kids to understand, yet they are exciting and fun stories - that in the end - leave the child with a moral value - a lesson learned. They are just the right length. I have both books for my children and eagerly await the rest of the series. I hope Cherokee Wyatt never stops writing them! She has a website to view: www.margaretmouse.com Go see!!!

The new series of books about Margaret Mouse are simply the best I've seen for children in many years!! They are exciting for my children who cannot read and they absolutely love the idea that a little mouse who is basically ugly can be so pure of heart. We're taking Margaret's motto, "Pretty is as Pretty does" for our own!! Kudos to Cherokee Wyatt for bringing Margaret to life. We can't wait for the other adventures to become available!

The Adventures of Molly Whuppie and Other Appalachian Folktales is a collection of brief yet enjoyable tales blending the spirit of traditional Appalachian folklore with modern-day awareness. Featuring an extroverted young girl named Molly Whuppie, the stories include encounters with witches, giants, an ogre who refuses to do housework, cornbread-baking mice, unwanted boyfriends, Molly's sisters, and even the Appalachian hero Jack. A handful of simple black-and-white illustrations enhance this rip-roaring fun storybook with a brave and clever heroine. Especially recommended for young girls.

Why is this adorable book out of print? It is a masterpiece , no words just witty, beautifully rendered inter-active drawings tell the story, recreating pre-Industrial England-- Jane Austen for piglets and pork- lovers of all ages
