Title: A great read-aloud book
Product review: I work at a small, rural library. While not a "children's librarian", one of my duties is a weekly Story Time, and Pigs Aplenty, Pigs Galore has been one I have used over many years. It never fails to get everyone's attention, parents and children alike. The rhyming works so well, and it is very easy to fall under its spell. The bright, pig-filled illustrations are comical and eye-catching. The page "Pigs from London, pigs from France, pigs in just their underpants" always gets a big laugh from the kids. Parents laugh at the fact that when pizza is ordered, the narrator laments that while the piggies get their fill, he gets nothing, just the bill.After almost fifteen years of reading this story to small groups, it never gets old. I have pretty much memorized the book by now, and the cadence of the rhymes does have a soothing effect. A highly recommended read!
