Piggy Pie Po

by Audrey and Don Wood (2010)

Piggy Pie Po is a very active little piggy. He does all sorts of things while wearing all sorts of clothes. This is a book obviously geared towards younger children. The illustrations are much simpler than the other A. & D. Wood books I have read, making it easier for young students to focus on what is happening on each page. The text is large, and for the most part there is only one line per page.

This would be a great book to use in a Kindergarten classroom. The book is full of helpful little tips for young students, such as wearing work clothes when you are gardening, or avoiding hot peppers when dining. I like the inclusion of the numbers 1,2, and 3 for no apparent reason other than the students giving the students a chance to identify them. There is also a part in the story where the class could count down from 10 to 1. All in all a great book that I believe would really resonate with young students.
