Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS. A new title from the creator of Kipper and other popular books for toddlers. As they play a game of hide-and-seek, all of the piglets are found in their various hiding places except for Tiny Pig, who gives the others a merry chase. Derivative of Where's Spot and countless other lift-the-flap books, this story nevertheless may find an audience among unjaded children. Watercolor illustrations of impish pigs have a certain charm. Additional for large collections.?Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY

My kids, twins aged 18 months, scream "Wibbly Pig" everytime I try to sneak the book into the room. Their little faces light up. Indeed, "Wibbly Pig" was the among the first words spoken by both of them. Simply a marvelous treat for me and them, every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our daughter cries when we put it away!!!, December 30, 1998

This review is from: Everyone Hide from Wibbly Pig: A Lift-the-Flap Book (Lift-the-flap Books) (Hardcover)

We love this book and so does our daughter. She loves the flaps to find all of the pigs. She has loved it from the first time she saw it (6 months old). The illustrations are great and it is a good length to keep her interested,(though we usually have to read it three times before we can put it away).

It was the best b'day present she received this year. The pictures are CUTE - easy on the preschool eye. Finding Wibbly's buddies is fun, teaching playfulness, memory, and question ansering skills. He's on our must-read before bed. He even sleeps under her pillow. When are the stuffed Wibbly's coming?!
