Ever since I was a wee youngin, I have wanted a pet pig for a pet. Although every time I think I might be able to get a pot-bellied Pig someone stops me.
If you Give A Pig A Pancake
I’ve decided I will collect books with Pigs this way Charlie and I can study pigs in our classroom. For a Field Trip Charlie and I will visit a Farm to play with pigs. Because Charlie also would like to have a pet pig.
Charlie and I visited Half Prize books and picked up a copy of If You Give A Pig A Pancake. I would like to tell you both Charlie and I can’t wait to read If You Give A Pig A Pancake
Then we want to share If You Give A Pig A Pancake with my nieces and nephews. Now I’m off to find lesson plans I can use in our Language Arts class.
After we finish reading If You Give A Pig A Pancake I plan on picking up more books in this series. Because there are enough books to keep Charlie and me busy for a while.
This is the first book starring Pig in the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling If You Give… series!
If you give a pig a pancake, she’ll want some syrup to go with it. You’ll give her some of your favorite maple syrup, and she’ll probably get all sticky, so she’ll want to take a bath. She’ll ask you for some bubbles when you give her the bubbles.
Readers will delight in the story of an accommodating little girl who tries to keep up with the whims of a busy little pig.
Fans of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie will love this perfect addition to the series. An excellent gift for young readers who like to giggle.
