Customer Reviews

Wibbly Pig is Wonderful!
This book tells a very simple story about Wibbly Pig. Wibbly pig happily builds a sand castle then eats an ice cream. He is surprised by a wave and loses his ice cream. This leads Wibbly to be upset, but he is soon cheered up by a dog and is happy once more! The text is very basic (i.e. "Wibbly Pig is busy"). However, this book promotes conversation between parent and child because the parent can discuss what is happening in the picture. The illustrations are sweet and Wibbly is adorable! This board book is larger than most which make it easy for little hands to explore. I think this book is probably best for infants up to 3 years. This book is fun to read and my baby loves it!

Wibbly Piggly
This was the first book to really catch my active toddler's attention. I don't know if it was the cute, colorful drawings of Wibbly Pig or the inclusion of a dog in the story or Wibbly playing in the sand. My son will sit still on my lap long enough to let me read it, the only draw back- pronouncing "Wibbly Pig". The other Wibbly books are just as cute.

My children loved this
It is simple. It is cute. And still manages to show a range of feelings kids can relate to: happy, hungry, sad, needs a hug. A great first book.
