The naughty and nice piggies in this book helps us learn to count from 1-10 in an entertaining, fun way. Told from a child's perspective, children of all ages will enjoy reading and looking at this book.
This is one of my favorite books to read to small children. The vivid, colorful illustrations help create the light, fun mood of this book. The different piggies that are assigned to each finger such as "two fat little piggies" for the thumbs, and "two long little piggies" for the middle fingers, and "two wee little piggies" for the pinky fingers make it easy for small children to relate their fingers to the illustrations. The book uses a double spread page layout with an illustration of each hand on the seperate pages. The child can look at his or her hand and see the corresponding hand on the pages they are viewing. I have read this book to every child in my family since 1996 and also used it in my Head Start class. Even my 3rd graders love to read it, and will periodically pull it off the shelf to share with each other. The hardcover makes it durable, although the paper pages would be easily torn for small children, so I would suggest keeping it out of reach of toddlers and share it at bed time.
