Hog-eye is one of those books that elementary librarians like myself search for. It is a wonderful excellent read aloud that the children enjoy especially the "underwear" part. It is also a wonderful book about the importance of reading without hitting the children over the head. Also I could really get into reading aloud this book. It was such a fun experience for students and I. Thank you Susan Meddaugh.

This is a great story... hilarious.. for children from 2-102 yrs. I bought it just to have when my family needs some cheering up.

This has been a favorite of my daughters since they were four and five. The story is very funny (for adults, too) and the parts where the characters speak in "bubbles", cartoon-style, really made this an immediate favorite with the kids.

My daughter loved this book when I read it to her, and I loved reading it to her, it was so much fun!

Okay, I'll admit it. I requested and received my own copy of Hog-Eye for Christmas a few years back, at the age of 45. I'd read it many, many times with my children (having borrowed it from our library) and loved it so much that I wanted to "honor" the wonderful Ms. Meddaugh by purchasing a copy. AND I wanted to be able to pick it up and read it for a chuckle whenever the mood strikes. It's a wonderful, clever, funny, beautifully-written story. I'm writing this review after receiving a phone-text from my now 16-year-old daughter, who is with friends talking about funny books, and wanted to be sure of the title. Buy and enjoy Hog-Eye!

This book has to be one of the funniest children's books we have ever read. We originally checked it out from the library and loved it so much we had to buy our own copy. It provides tons of giggles. It is perfect for our 5 year old's silly sense of humor.

Hog-Eye is one of my children's (6 and 8) all-time favorite books. (It's one of my favorites as well!) The little pig's creative explanation of how she missed the bus is humorous, but her family's sideline responses to the story are what make this book really wonderful. Hog-Eye demonstrates just how important a little ingenuity and the ability to read can be.

My six year old daughter and I have read this book over thirty times, and we're still laughing! A little pig, trying to explain why she missed school, invents a tall tale about a hungry wolf, a soup recipe, and her own ingenious efforts to escape the wolf's clutches. Don't miss this book!

If you're looking for a children's book that reflects the attitude of today's kids, read Hog Eye. With an unique dual storyline, the main character is telling about her adventure and dubiously clever escape, and her large family is reacting and commenting. You enjoy a delightful blend of interactions. And when you get the the punchline of the story, your kids will remember it FOREVER. A real keeper. A regular read for our three kids
