5-0 out of 5 stars pertinent!
Not just for children, this book does more than regale us with the usual cliches about the evils of dictatorship - it uncovers the darkness in each heart that psychologically paves the way for dictatorship.This book doesn't just poke fun, it cuts deep. ... Read more

What a fun book. My 2 year old son loves this book and I enjoy reading it to him (over and over and over ... you know how it goes).

5-0 out of 5 stars A great book
This is a great book for parents to read to their kids!My mom read this book to me and my sisters when we were little and now I'll be reading it to my son.

5-0 out of 5 stars a finely aged and well worn classic
my dad used to read this book to me when i was a small boy. it was always one of my favorites to hear and i believe my dad's favorite to read. he had a way of reading this story that was so engaging. i still have that very same book tattered and worn having also been read many many times by me to my three boys, now mid to late teens. the story is one im sure many people can relate to. something akin to the grass is always greener on the other side, be careful what you wish for and sometimes its better to leave well enough alone. at least thats what i seem to get out of it. small pig lives on a country farm with the farmer and his wife. small pig is heavy into his mud. the farmer is cool with this but his wife is not. she decieds to clean it up using a monstrous vacuum cleaner. small pig is not with a clean pigpen so he runs away. he happens upon various places with mud that look good at first but turn out to be inhospitable. eventually he finds his way to the big city. noise and filth abound and he finds what he thinks is a wonderful mud pit but turns out to be a cement square for a sidewalk. next thing he knows he's stuck and no matter how hard he tries he cannot get out. slowly people begin to notice his predicament and the crowd eventually swells to mob like proportions. mean while the farmer and his wife are frantically searching for small pig. as the fire department shows up to rescue small pig the farmer and his wife happen by. "whats going on here?" the farmer ask's a bystander. "oh nothing, just a pig stuck in the sidewalk" the man replies. the farmer and his wife make their way thru the crowd. simultaineously small pig is free'd. they speed their way back home to the country where small pig is given all the mud he needs. "he sits down and sinks down into the good soft mud".i will go my whole life remembering this book as my dad read it to me and how i read it to my son's and thats what makes it such a treasured book.

5-0 out of 5 stars A little masterpiece
_Small Pig_ is as good as the books in Lobel's Frog and Toad saga, which is high praise indeed.It's a story told with Zen-like simplicity and humor.Serene acceptance is the best way to handle life's annoyances, if you can manage it.Asked one time why so many of his characters seem to be neurotic, Lobel said:"They didn't start out that way but, if you talk in short, choppy sentences and repeat words a lot, you begin to sound neurotic quickly."If you have a small child, introduce him or her to the world of reading with this little masterpiece of children's literature. ...

We make weekly trips to the library and each night read 2-3 books to my 2-year old son.This is his favorite book.It's helping him learn his ABC's in a fun way.We've checked out the book enough times that I've decided it is time to buy it for our home collection.

5-0 out of 5 stars Toot & Puddle : Puddle's ABC
This is a must have for all Toot and Puddle fans.A great ABC book for children learning thier alphabet as well as a all around good book. Thebooks starts as a children's picture book and moves into a ABC book andthen returns to a picture book style which gives a little variety to thebook.It will keep children's interest and as usual the writing and artwork is fabulous! ...

4-0 out of 5 stars Build Your House from Bricks or...
Paul Galdone's "Three Little Pigs" is not your modern PC version of piggies vs wolf.In this story pigs get eaten.Which is perhaps why this book was on my entering kindergartner's Summer Reading List.Far from being watered down and shortened, this version includes the bits about the wolf's trying to trick pig #3 into getting within grabbing range:let's get turnips together... apples together, and finally, let's go to the fair together.
5-0 out of 5 stars My 3 year old son loves this one
5 stars for the enjoyment my 3 year old sons gets from this one. The traditional version of the story, with the third pig outwitting the wolf many times. Appealing illustrations. I am going to buy more of Galdone's books based on how much my son has enjoyed this one and "The Three Billy Goats Gruff."

1-0 out of 5 stars I'm sorry I have to give this mindless crap a one-star!

4-0 out of 5 stars Is that a Pig Playing Football...Or a Football Player Being a Pig?
Despite the title of the book, and despite the title of this review, this sixteenth volume in the Freddy the Pig series is much less about football, and much more about the Bean farm animals saving the day once more.This time the antagonist (Freddy readers like learning new words) is the dishonest Mr. Doty.He's so dishonest that Doty isn't even his real name.Animal-hater Mr. Garble recruits Mr Doty to pretend he's Mrs. Bean's long lost brother, to whom the Beans owe a large amount of money.In order to prevent the Beans from paying him, Freddy steals all the Beans' money from the bank.Where he hides it is for you to find out when you read the story.
5-0 out of 5 stars Mrs. Bean's Brother's Keeper
Walter Brooks begins this sixteenth tale of our indomitable porcine poet with a great stir on the Bean Farm.Mrs. Bean's long lost brother has been discovered, and is coming to the farm for a reunion.When Aaron Doty makes his appearance, it is with mixed reviews.He is generally nice enough, although he has a marked affection for telling tall tales, but he has a suspicious mean streak.In the final analysis, the animals come to suspect that he is a fraud, taking advantage of the fact that Mrs. Bean's brother left when she was quite young.When they find out that Doty is conspiring with sneaky Mr. Garble from Centerboro, they are convinced.5-0 out of 5 stars Freddy the Pig: Not Just for Kids
As usual, Freddy gets into trouble and into the adventure by trying to help his friends.In this case, Mrs. Bean's long-lost brother turns up and wants his share of the inheritance, something that will bankrupt Mr. Bean and possibly ruin the farm. At the same time, he is needed to help the Centerboro high school football team beat its rival, Tushville, who has ringers playing on their team.The action is fast and furious, and a delight to read.Brooks and his Freddy books are a godsend to parents who read to their children. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars A Fable for All Times
If you you are looking for some light entertainment, this is a great read for kids and adults who are young at heart. Then, if you think about it, the book could be a really good way to help kids or adults think about the wolves who try to sell us baloney in politics and other arenas everyday. This wolf is a modern day con artist trying to twist the truth, and hide his true nat. After all, wasn't that the original intent of many myths and fairly tales? But if you don't want to go there, relax and enjoy this sarcastic, clever, and humorous retelling of a classic tale. Enjoy!

4-0 out of 5 stars The True Story of the Three Little Pigs
This book is funny and it really just says "now lets let the wollf point fingers." So just like I said now its the Wolf's turn. Also i liked this book because I always thought that maybe it wasn"t the wolf's fault. Then to top it off he mixes alot ALOT of comedy into it.
5-0 out of 5 stars Who's afraid of Mr. Alexander T. Wolf?
Authors these days are constantly reinterpreting old fairy tales and nursery rhymes to spice them up, repackage them, and sell them as something new.Credit this idea, in part, to the illustrious Jon Scieszka (a free cup of sugar to anyone who pronounces his name correctly) and illustrator Lane Smith.Together, these two have successfully rendered the world of nursery-dom topsy turvey, beginning with the clever, "The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs!".At long last, the viewer has a chance to look past the biased press and (undoubtedly) stacked juries to hear the true story from the lips of Mr. Alexander T. Wolf himself.Read more
