Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

What Color Is That, PiggyWiggy? and Count to Ten, PiggyWiggy!, by Christyan and Diane Fox present concepts within a story. "PiggyWiggy wants to make Teddy laugh. Can you guess who he is going to be?" As PiggyWiggy dons orange suspenders and a crazy purple bow tie, against color-coded backgrounds, he transforms into a colorful clown. In the second title, children count to 10 while watching PiggyWiggy make a surprise birthday cake for Teddy. "He takes ONE big mixing bowl" and finishes by placing "TEN bright candles. HOORAY!" Humorous illustrations with thick black lines and solid blocks of color add a lot of fun to both books.

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-These boldly colored board books feature PiggyWiggy and his teddy bear. Large-format pages show an endearing young piglet, drawn with a wobbly line and filled with bright color. In Count to Ten, PiggyWiggy bakes a cake for Teddy's birthday. One side of the double-page spread shows him assembling his cake (four eggs, five pats of butter, etc.); the other side shows Teddy hiding, observing every step of the surprise. In What Color Is That, PiggyWiggy dresses up to make his toy laugh. Each piece of clothing, from orange suspenders to a polka-dot purple tie, will have kids guessing what he will be-a clown-while Teddy manages to entangle himself in PiggyWiggy's clothes. The illustrations are large enough to use in storytimes. Clever and fun for the toddler crowd.

4.0 out of 5 stars Piggy Wiggy does it again, July 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: What Color Is That, Piggywiggy? (Board book)

My son and I are big Piggy Wiggy fans-the illustrations are adorable, and the stories cute! This one is great for the very young-my son already looks at all the pictures at only six weeks. The colors really stand out and the story gets the point across. Not the best Piggy Wiggy book story-wise, but probably the one my son likes the best at this point. Can't wait for the next one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Piggy Wiggy Book, July 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Count to Ten, PiggyWiggy (Board book)

At six weeks old, my son already has the complete Piggy Wiggy library. These are almost the only books he shows interest in--he can really see the bright, bold pictures! So cute! This one isn't as good as FireFighter Piggy Wiggy or Goodnight Piggy Wiggy, but DEFINATELY worth the price! We'll be enjoying them all for years to come, I'm sure!
