Review
"These delightful tales about a young pig and his farmyard friends contain ample repetition within robustly patterned texts which, along with matching illustrations, prove very accessible to novice readers. Additionally, the allusion to what big grey animals tend to do to little pigs makes for compulsive stories which, in Margaret Meek's words, 'mean more than they say'. This is the way to learn to read - more please.' -- The School Librarian, July 1999
Product Description
Iggy Pig and Mother Pig are off to market - they need more supplies of bread and fruit. They miss out on a lift in the pony and cart, and by the time they arrive in town, Mother Pig is exhausted. Would Iggy be very kind and do the shopping while she has a rest? Of course he will! But hot on the heels of Iggy is a big grey animal with a hungry smile. Licking his lips, the wolf is certain that he's going to get a good dinner tonight. After all, Iggy is quite alone, none of his farmyard friends are anywhere in sight. But clever Iggy Pig knows what he's up to, and all the wolf will be getting to eat is a stall full of of apples and some hot crusty bread!
