Pig Books

I think that this book is an excellent story describing many of Jeremy James' adventures from his point of view. this way of writing allows many funny comments on Jeremy's outlook on life. Reading this book will be a wonderful experience for you and your children. I nag my mom over and over again to read me more of these hilarous stories. My mom obliges with joy because she likes the stories almost as much as I do. Even my friends enjoy the comical antics of Jeremy James. This book is a must have for any fun loving family.

I know others have commented on the hyperbole of the endings in this series possibly being a poor message for youngsters but I wonder if these same people don't read any fairy tales? In this one, the bad kid doesn't die but does have to live with pigs because he is so greedy. As a teacher, I was original drawn to these books because of the reading methodology is sound with the repetition of common onset, rime patterns (vowel/consonant blends). My son is the biggest fan because of the catchy rhymes. I really like the art and drawing style with the hip clothes and it is a lesson that I want my son to learn. I do wish it treated "greedy" as bigger than just food.

This is my favorite board book to read to my 9-month-old. Unlike with others, I never get sick of reading this one-- it's fun to read and not too repetitive or cloying. Amusing sounds and dialogue to act out. And the pictures are very cute and colorful. My book is shaped different from the one shown in the picture, though-- it's shaped like Posy's head and the cover has no mention of the author or illustrator (for shame! I had to turn to the back cover to read the copyright note to figure out who wrote and illustrated it).

It also happens to be the one book I can read through without my daughter getting distracted and trying to eat the pages. ;) And every time we get to the "Oomph!," she cracks up.

We have been blessed with a beautiful little boy who loves books. His first and favorite book is the english version of Where is Maisy's Panda. He loves looking in the washer, under the sink, in the toilette, and in the toybox for Panda and is always excited to find him "Snuggled up with Maisy." He now gets excited when this story is read to him in spanish. We're looking forward to purchasing the other spanish versions of Lucy Cousins books. It is a perfect way to introduce a second language to babies.

My ten-month old twins love all the Maisy books. With this favorite in Spanish, the boys can enjoy Maisy with their babysitter. The words are simple that even my husband (who knows NO Spanish) can read it. The pictures are bright and colorful so the babies are captivated with the search for Maisy. They love lifting the flaps and pointing at the bold pictures. We can't wait to hear their first words in Spanish!

My 2 1/2 year old thoroughly enjoys books, and loves to take an active part in stories. This book provides an intriguing nature mystery that invites the reader/listener to join two little mice detectives in figuring out the origins of an oak tree. We look forward to solving more mysteries with Dot and Jabber!

Lynne Carver's Dreaming Pigs is a bizarre and fantastic novel about three people who conspire to steal a pig cloned especially to create organs harvestable for human beings, and who find themselves in for much more than they bargained. Witty, caustic, and offering a different perspective on the latest medical breakthroughs of today, Dreaming Pigs is highly recommended, entertaining, and occassionally thought-provoking reading.

What a tremendously funny book about a sweet pig "cleaning" his room. My 3.5 year old toddler giggled through each page! She loved the surprises under each flap. If only cleaning could be this much fun. Wojtwycz has written a wondeful, entertaining book.

Dustin And A Mouse Named Cody in "The Mouse That Stirred On the Night Before Christmas by Kent D. Walsh "Uncle Kent" is a magical, captivating story about two friends. In this story Dustin, a boy, develops an unusual friendship with a mouse and together they set off an exciting adventure to find "the one thing that will prove Cody is not a failure and make Cody famous". This is a wonderfully descriptive and inspiring Christmas story that teaches us that we, no matter how small, all have something "great" within us and that we can accomplish big things if we work together. It is a wonderful addition to our Christmas collection and an inspiring story for year round.
