5.0 out of 5 stars Pigs Like More Than Pancakes!, 5 Dec 2008
By Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      

If your child, niece, nephew, or grandchild loved If You Give a Pig a Pancake, then how can you resist a party-going outing with the pig? After hearing so much during the recent political campaign about pigs and lipstick, it's nice to read about a pig that puts on her favorite dress without wearing any lipstick.

I particularly loved some of the illustrations in this book (the star-studded golden table centerpiece, colorful peeks past partially open doors into other rooms, flying ribbons and crepe paper, the animals driving bumper cars, teeny hints of the hiding animals during hide and seek, blankets and pillows being put to various uses, and mounds of blown balloons). They'll put anyone into a party mood.

As with the earlier books in the series, the story is built around the theme of doing thing . . . and that leading to another . . . until the circle is complete. "If you give a pig a party, she's going to ask for some balloons. When you give her the balloons, she'll want to decorate the house . . . And chances are, if you give her some balloons, she's going to ask you for a party."

Lots of friends are involved, too, so there's a nice socialization ethic displayed here to encourage sharing and friendship.

I believe this story is a little more female than male oriented because "you" is obviously a girl and the pig is also a female. I suspect little boys with older sisters will enjoy having this book read to them by their sisters just as much as little girls do.

As with the other books in the series, I love the opportunity for a child to identify either with the girl or the female pig. As a child grows older, that dual character focus adds more dimensions to the story and prepares for better reading comprehension skills later in life. The girl is very patient and kind (like a good parent) and the pig is full of life and mischief (like a happy little child). It's a nice combination that will bring smiles to reader and listener alike. Because of the simple word structure, many tykes will be able to memorize the book and "read" it to mom and dad.

Are you ready for a party?
