Piggy Bunny
Most piglets want to be pigs when they grow up. Not Liam. He wants to be a bunny. Even if it takes a lot of practice to learn how to hop...and to eat salad. Even if no one believes that a piggy can be a bunny. With a lot of determination, and a little help from his grandma, Liam is determined to make his dream come true.

Liam is a piglet who wants to be the Easter Bunny. His siblings tease him for it, his parents try to convince him that he is a "perfect piglet" and "doesn't have to try to be anything else", his neighbors and friends stare and don't understand. In the end, it's his grandparents that help him by ordering an Easter Bunny suit from the internet.

Piggy Bunny is about a pig named Liam who wants to be an Easter bunny. Liam's family does not understand why he wants to be something other than a pig. They tell him they love him the way he is and that he doesn’t have to try to be anything else. Liam is sad because nobody believes he can be anything different. Finally, he finds support from his grandparents who buy him a bunny suit. In his bunny suit, Liam is happy and others to believe in him too. This text relates to my unit as is Liam is uni...more
A pig who insists that he is a bunny. His family assures him they love him just the way he is; his sister tells him to get over it. He is still insistent: "Hello, my name is Liam and I'll be your Easter Bunny." The neighbors are skeptical but his parents continue to love and support him.
Love it.
Then grandma and grandpa come to visit, and not only do they support Liam, they work with him to make his outside match his inside - they order an Easter Bunny suit on the Internet. And once his bunny sui...more

While the other piglets in his family want to be pigs when they grow up, Liam has other dreams. He intends to become the Easter Bunny and practices all the skills he'll need to do so successfully: hoping, eating salad, and delivering eggs. [One could argue that the Easter Bunny might not need to love salad in order to perform his/her job, but Liam's dislike for green veggies adds to the story's humor.] While his parents and siblings encourage self-acceptance, his grandparents support Liam's drea...more
Hilariously wonderful! This little pig knows just what he wants to be when he grows up... The Easter Bunny!
"You are a terrific piglet," says his mother, "We love your squiggly tail and your little black eyes and your snouty nose and your adorably triangular ears... you are perfect... just exactly the way you are."
"Just exactly the way I am... is like a piglet who is going to be the Easter Bunny."
Liam the pig decides, "This is the kind of problem... that is called heartbreaking."

I love a picture book that makes grown ups laugh. If you're going to read it a million times to kids, you might as well enjoy it!
This is an excellent addition to my shelf of "picture books I don't mind rereading a bajillion times". Liam, an adorable piglet with loving, supportive pig parents, longs to be the Easter Bunny. He finds understanding in his grandparents, who offer to help him become the EB by getting him a costume. It is impossible not to crack up when Liam asks if they know how to ma...more

This is one of my favorites of my library pile today. Piglet wants to be a bunny. But not just any bunny, the Easter bunny. "The Easter bunny?" asked Liam's big brother. "Seriously?" Everyone tries to talk him out of it by spouting "we love you for who you are" nonsense. Grandma & grandpa come to the rescue. "Put your Easter bunny suit on." I don't have one, can you make me one? "Absolutely not," said Grandma. "We will order one on the internet." Kids are little for such a short time, let th...more
Hm. Very cute, and I LUUURRRRVVEE Jeremy Tankard's illustrations, but it seemed like something was missing. Yes, Pig was loved just the way he was - but self-esteem wasn't his problem; he wanted folks to support his desire to become Easter Bunny. But when grandma and grandpa tell him they DO support his dream, their solution was to buy him a bunny suit. And then, suddenly, everyone believed in him as the Easter Bunny. Huh? THAT was all they needed? For him to LOOK more like a bunny? I felt like...more
I think I might be having a cute overload. This book is darling, and has a good message and I love characters in it.
Liam is a pig. Liam wants to be the Easter Bunny. This is a problem.
Listen to this gem the book....
Liam hopped around his grandparents, his triangular ears twitching with excitement. "You know how to make an Easter Bunny suit?" he asked them.
"Absolutely not," said Grandma. "We will order one on the internet."
Love.

You know what? This one is super cute. I LOVE the illustrations and ... let me think. Can I tell you my favorite lines without spoiling the story?
I will just say that Grandma and Grandpa are awesome.
Must read for Easter. Not necessarily for the meaning behind that season (though He did teach us to love and accept!) ... but for fun, definitely. Maybe a storytime? There must be a craft in there somewhere. Lesson can be on story elements. Then fun craftiness.

I can't say enough good things about this book! It was funny, witty, heartwarming, and it really showed a great underlying moral of being who you are regardless of what other's think. The story tells of a little piglet who believes in himself. With the help of just one person, he was able to gain the self confidence he needed to have everyone else believe in him too. Great illustrations, and a GREAT story to share with young readers.
Liam does not want to be a pig when he grows up, even though he’s a piglet. Instead, Liam wants to be the Easter Bunny. Liam even practiced his bunny skills: hopping, eating salad, and delivering eggs. But they didn’t work out too well. His family thought that he should just admit he was a pig and move on. But then his grandmother said that they didn’t have the imagination to see him as a rabbit and that he needed a bunny suit to have them see it. Unfortunately, the bunny suit doesn’t fit quite...more
Love! Liam is a piggy that wants to be the Easter bunny! I love his comebacks in confidence of who he is. Adorable story with a nice, understated message.
Would be fantastic in a Easter storytime; great tale focusing on the bunny part of the holiday.

I great book to teach kids you can be anything you want to be, even if others don't think so. This pig just wanted to be the Easter bunny, and thankfully his grandma knows how to work the internet to find a bunny costume. Very cute story.

I love the message here. Instead of just being happy with who you are, in this case a pig, the pig is encouraged to follow his dreams. He is fully accepted for who he is, a pig who wants to be the Easter bunny.
Liam is a piglet who wants to be the Easter Bunny when he grows up, but no one believes he can do it until, with a lot of practice and some help from his grandparents, he shows them all.
Adorable story about a piglet that wants to grow up to be the Easter Bunny. Great artwork, and I got a little choked up at the end as I read it to my nieces and nephews at Easter!
The power of imagination comes to life for Liam the piglet, who faces problems and doubters as he aspires to be the Easter Bunny. Supportive grandparents come to the rescue by purchasing a bunny suit on the internet and encouraging him to believe.

I love this book. A ridiculous statement, but true. Liam is adorable, the story is funny, and the last line of the book makes me want to fall over and squawk for joy.
Awesome!!! Best Easter (bunny) story we've encountered. Wonderfully ingenious. I'm not going to give any spoilers but for sure mark it to read next Easter.
CUTE. Super duper cute. I laughed out loud when Liam said, "Do you know how to make a bunny suit?" and his grandma said, "No! We'll order one on the Internet."
Maybe a 4.5. Sweet but not sugary story about a piglet who wants to be the Easter Bunny. This would make an adorable Easter present for the picture-book set.
A cute story about a pig who wants to be the Easter bunny. His grandparents buy him an Easter bunny suit and suddenly everyone believes in him.
Cute story about a piglet whose dream is to the Easter bunny. Modernistic illustrations add to the contemporary feel of this family of pigs.
I thought that this book would be so great...but I was sadly mistaken. This book was not suitable for young children. The language used is too advanced for most easy readers (in my opinion). And the story line was awful! Disappointed!!!

Simple book about believing in yourself and reaching your dreams. Some of the language is beyond the childs point of view represented
LOVE this book! If I need to tell you why a pig who wants to be a bunny is awesome, then this probably isn't the book for you :)
This is probably one of the best books I've ever read about trans-identity. Great for kids and adults alike.
