4.0 out of 5 stars very fun and creative, November 21, 1998

This review is from: The Pigs' Wedding (Paperback)

This is such a fun book about the marriage of two pigs. They run into some problems on their wedding day, but come up with fun and creative solutions. This book teaches kids to be creative with solving problems, and is just plain entertaining.

This review is from: The Pigs' Wedding (Hardcover)

Cute story with great illustrations. Our 3 daughters (ages 2-4) loved this story on the scholastic DVD (Click, Clack, Moo...et al.). Although it's currently out of print, we were pleased to get this used hardcover copy -- it had been in a Texas library and was in very good condition.

This review is from: The Pigs' Wedding (Paperback)

My two-year-old daughter LOVES this book. There are really too many words in it for her, but it doesn't matter -- she loves both the illustrations and the story. Her favorite bits: the wedding guests (all pigs) arrive dirty, and need to be washed before the wedding; the pigs paint on exactly the clothes they want to wear to the wedding -- and then their finery all runs off in the rain! There's dirt, drama, and dancing -- my daughter has begged for this one from the library so many times that I'm finally tracking down a copy to buy. She also loves the Scholastic video version of the story.
