Summary: Small Pig
Review: I first read Small Pig in 2nd grade... 25 years later, it's still my all-time favorite children's book. I've told friends about it and even though I haven't seen the book in years, I can still vividly remember the expression on the pig's face when he got stuck in the cement. As a learning disabled child (undiagnosed at the time, but I knew that reading was a chore nonetheless), I found the book not only easy to read, but I was in love with the expressive illustrations of the pig. An absolutely adorable character. It's a parable in many ways to the way a child feels when they don't get their way. The farmer and his wife loved this pig very much and it's obvious in the telling of the story. It's short enough to read as a bed-time story to your kids and even the "scary" parts are brief and even humorous. If more stars were available, I would add them.

Review: I thought this book was very funny but I still felt bad for the poor little pig who got stuck in the sidewalk, thinking it was mud. This book was very enjoyable and I recamend it for ages 6-9 year old children. This book teaches you that you shouldn't sit in wet concrete.

Review: It's funny because the pig gets stuck in mud. The mom sucks the mud up with the vacuum cleaner. The pig runs away. The turtle bites the pig. The pig looks for mud.The pig is scared of the vacuum cleaner. The pig is cute because he has a bow on him. I like the book.

Summary: Small Pig Review
Review: Small Pig is about a pig whose pig pen gets cleaned up and so he gets mad and runs away. He searches high and low for a place to find his good soft mud. Finally he goes to the city because it's dirty so he thinks he finds mud in the city and realy he sits in cement. The farmer and his wife go to find the pig and he's stuck so the firemen come and help get him out. When they get home they make his mud reappear and the pig promises to never run away again. I love this book because every time I read it I get a new meaning out of it. I've read this book since I can rememer and will continue to until I pass it along. This book will always be in memory because it means so much to me

Summary: Small Pig
Review: This book appeals to both kids and adults because, along with the great, whimsical illustrations and easy-to-read words, the book also has all the elements of a great story. The irony of the farmer's wife vacuuming up a pigpen and of a pig getting stuck in cement are precious; there's just enough tasty sarcasm to make you grin as you read. My favorite line is when the farmer pulls over to ask what's going on, and the man replies, "Oh, nothing. Just a pig stuck in the sidewalk." Classic. The small pig's expressions are priceless; Lobel has great character development. Superior book.
