Review

"Pignic" is a simple, yet clever book for the youngest set. In this story, pigs set out to have a perfectly fine "Pignic." There is a tree to climb, a kite to fly and delicious treats in the picnic basket. However, after a while, a shower approaches and we as readers we think that this just cannot help but spoil the "perfect day for a picnic" atmosphere. However, lo and behold, it does become the MOST perfect day for a picnic after all, as the pigs are able to frolic in a huge and glorious mud puddle. What could be a more perfect ending to their day.

A great little picture book to use when studying springtime, mud season, or farm animals.

Soft, lovely watercolors depicting happy, delightful pigs.

Overall Book Score: very good
