5.0 out of 5 stars one of my childhood favorites!, December 28, 2002
By 
Sarah Pope (Friday Harbor, WA) - See all my reviews
Garth Pig is a fabulous children's book, and it ought to be reprinted! My parents still remember long passages of the text 20 years later, they read it to me so many times. Garth's kidnapping by the ice cream lady (a wolf) and his dramatic rescue by his nine daring siblings on their 10-seat bicycle will captivate kids of all ages, and the wit and fun along the way is sure to charm adults as well. This is a gentle story, too - bravery and honesty from the protagonist piggies, and the ice cream lady is "never seen again" - nothing too scary for little ones. You'll thank yourself for tracking down this great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars a great bed time story, October 27, 2000
By 
connie (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garth Pig and the Icecream Lady (Hardcover)
I had grown up with this book and it takes you into another world. They are fun stories, and Garth has had other stories written about him too. A funny, well worth it read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Family Favorite, September 12, 2010
By 
Grammie (Springville, UT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garth Pig and the Icecream Lady (Hardcover)
I love this children's book that teaches the subtle lesson of *beware of strangers*. I read this to my *babies* 25 years ago and now share it with my grandchildren. A delightful tale with memorable lines that will stay with you forever. "Ham, bacon, pork chop out you must hop!"
