Product Description

PiggyWiggy is an endearing character with an imagination that literally stretches beyond the limits of the page. From pilot to pirate, doctor to driver, this engaging porker imagines his career options before snuggling up in bed with a book. Always at his side: His faithful companion Teddy. Bursting with energy, brilliant in color, intense with the emotions of childhood, PiggyWiggy exhibits many of the same qualities that distinguish Lucy Cousins' Maisy and Rosemary Wells' Max. A fold-out highlights every spread: a generous loop-the-loop almost 400 square inches large, flaps hiding a map to the pirate's treasure, a scrumptious two-foot-high cake, and more. PiggyWiggy's debut volume celebrates the magic of childhood while serving as a reassuring bedtime story.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-This is not a goodnight story, as the title seems to indicate; it's far too interactive and busy to use at bedtime. An imaginative pig muses about what he might be when he grows up-a pilot, a doctor, a bulldozer driver, or something else. Graphically, the book is bright and bold, with cartoonlike characters and large black type that fits the simplicity of the story. Flaps unfold vertically to reveal the small pig atop a fireman's ladder, and horizontally to show a doctor caring for a small creature or a race-car driver leading the pack. Some of the pages unfold more easily than others, and several are quite unwieldy when fully extended. This is a clever addition to toddler collections, but it may prove challenging to share with a group.

Piggy Wiggy is the best!
I already read this to my 6 week old frequently. He loves the bright pictures and is fascinated by the pull-out pages. I think he'll like it even more the older he gets! This is definately a must have for every children's library! The best part about it is, I love it, too!

A great childrens book
This book is great. My 19 month old loves it. The illustrations are bright and vivid. The story is adorable. I can't wait for the next Piggy Wiggy book to come out.
