Ketchup Heaven
Mrs. Pig's Bulk Buy is a delightful children's story about little pigs that just love ketchup. It presents Mrs. Pig's solution to every mother's problem of what to do with kids that want to eat the same thing all the time. I love Mary Rayner's style of writing and the delightful illustrations. I discovered this book at the city library when my children were young and now am sharing it with ...

Aladdin, 1981

one of my childhood favorites!
Garth Pig is a fabulous children's book, and it ought to be reprinted! My parents still remember long passages of the text 20 years later, they read it to me so many times. Garth's kidnapping by the ice cream lady (a wolf) and his dramatic rescue by his nine daring siblings on their 10-seat bicycle will captivate kids of all ages, and the wit and fun along the way is sure to charm adults as ...

Hidden Turnings
Hidden Turnings, edited and assembeled by Diana Wayne-Jones, is a teriffic collection of short stories mostly in the science-fiction, or fantasy genre. This book contains short stories such as Fifty-Fafty, The Master (my personal favorite), and many more. I only gave this book three stars because although I liked Hidden Turnings, it was an average book, with not many exceptional features. It ...

Pigs Might Fly

wow
The book, Pigs Might Fly was an awsome book. The book showed a lot of perserverence, curiosity, pride, and initiative. My favorite part is when Daggie, the pig, tries to fly, he uncovers a new talent of his. In this book Daggie is a good, kind-hearted pig. He shows a lot of perserverence, curage, initiative, and curiousity. I think you should read this book if you like fun and adventure.

Aladdin Paperbacks, 1979

One of my children's all-time favorite books
I was looking for some of my favorite picture books of all time, and I was SO saddened to see that this book is "out of print - limited availability"! My children are in their late teens and early 20's and this is probably one of the books they enjoyed the most when they were little! I really hope all the books in this series get reprinted! If you can get hold of a copy of this book, buy it ...

Kristen's review
In this book, a pig was a prize to be won at a fair in sheep country. Mr. Hogget played the game for the pig. Mr. Hogget told his wife that he played the game for the pig. Mrs. Hogget said I'd like a pig. We can feed him scraps and eat him for Christmas dinner. Fly was training her four puppies when she saw the pig that Mr. Hogget won named Babe. Babe was adopted by Fly and soon learned to ...
