Title: creepy
Product review: I was really creeped out by this book. It starts out with a little piglet who has lost his mother, a terrifying concept for a child. Yes, other children's books deal with this subject including one of my favorites "Are You My Mother?" but in that book the mother has gone off to look for food for her child; there is no such reasoning here. The creepiness begins on the piglet's encounter with a duck while he's looking for his mother - the duck (a stranger) wants to cuddle with him. This set off immediate alarm bells about messages I don't want to teach my child about strangers. The pig continues to encounter strangers who make offers that made me feel very uncomfortable for my child to be ok with. Unfortunately children don't learn from this book that strangers who make such offers AREN'T ok. Aside from cute pictures, I just don't get the redeeming value of this book.
