Amanda Pig and Her Big Brother Oliver: Level 2 (Easy-to-Read, Puffin)1 review
Jean Van Leeuwen

Puffin, 1994

My four-year-old loves this book

My 4-year-old fell in love with this book, and others in the series. Short, repetitive sentences, humorous stories, and appealing animal characters made it a hit; it's also helping her learn to read. Good choice for toddlers as well as preschoolers and early readers.
