i love this book: Pigs Love Potatoes

I'm going to be honest... when I pick out books for my son at the library, I try to pick books that he and I will both like. Because if I'm going to read a book 30 times, it had better have nice pictures, or be well written, or have something that makes it enjoyable for me.

Pigs Love Potatoes (Anika Denise and Christopher Denise) has all that. This is a sweet story about a family of pigs who are getting ready to have potatoes for supper. The pictures are beautiful and allow us to jump into the world of this pig family. The story is perfectly written. But nothing makes me happier than a sassy mama, and this book has a great one. She scolds two of her little pigs for yelping that they want potatoes. She scolds Papa for inviting the neighbor over without asking her first. And she insists on a kiss from everyone as they clear their plates after dinner. Hot diggity! I love it. I really admire this Mama Pig.

The other thing I really love about this book is that this family of pigs is full of joy and love. It's just so fun to see how happy they are.

Suggested age range: 4-8 years per Amazon (although it worked for my 2-1/2-year-old)
