Having two story time performers is great when sharing books. Each performer traded off reading one page, then the other.

Piggy Pie Po likes to dance (voice 1)
When he wears his party pants. (voice 2)
If he wears his rubber fins (voice 1)
Piggy Pie Po swims and swims. (voice 2 as performer 1 leads group in swimming motions).
When he wears his yellow coat (voice 1)
Piggy Pie Po likes to boat. (voice 2 as performer 1 leads the group in singing the action song "Row, row, row your boat").

And so forth. We...more

Piggy Pie Poe loves to dance when he wears his party pants.

Solid. Fun and silly--both in story and illustrations. The rhyme scheme isn't exactly there--yep, like a true English major I wrote it out ABAB style and it's lacking a pattern--and there's a couple of awkward ones (pimpernel in a preschool book, huh?) but mostly I see a cute, cheerful, goofy book that'll work with preschool, kindergarten, and maybe 1st.

The Woods consistently produce picture books that are not hip or trendy. Instead their work is the timeless sort that endures because they know just what kids like. And what's wrong with naked Piggy heading for his bath? Kids will LOVE that picture. Nothing they like more to do than run around starkers while a grown up chases after them :D

Audrey and Don Wood are magical. This title is simply presented as three short rhyming stories about Piggy Pie Po...being active, learning and eating. Light and fun--my preschooler loved the humor but was short sentences would work for slightly younger as well.
Melanie
A cute story of Piggy Pie Po who can do many things. However he cannot tie his shoes...yet. When he gets home, no one is home, so he decides to eat on his own. He makes quite a mess.

A humorous story and great for read-alouds.
Valerie
bright and colorful, short sentences of rhyme. Some confusion as to the picture not relating to the text. Hmmm. Ok, so now I see there are three stories contained within this very short picture book. However, confusion with the big number three as the text reads..."at half past nine..." Maybe smaller chapter numbers or putting them on pages separate from the actually story...
Cassie
Ages 2 and up. This book consists of a few simple stories that rhyme and include topics of counting, reading, and telling time. The ECRR skill that stood out with this book is phonological awareness. It's a fun quick read that has a nice rhythm.
Melissa
Even the youngest of my preschoolers love these three short stories about Piggy Pie Po! Short, funny and with simple rhyming language this book delivers giggles galore.
Donalyn
Audrey and Don Wood offer three short stories about Piggy Pie and his adventures. Simple rhymes and bright, playful illustrations will appeal to young readers.
Dani
This gets 5 stars for how much my 2 1/2 year old adored it. There may have been tears when it went back to the library.
Jenni Rollins
There's some pig nudity...from behind. Only would matter because the pigs are dressed up like people most of the time.
Lisa
my daughter liked the book more than I did. I think because of the rhyming and alliteration. Storyline is OK
Stefani
Cute quick read. Not the best-written from the pair, but a possibility for a piggy storytime.
Lizzie
Delightful Story Time read. The kids liked to repeat Piggy Pie Po and cracked up when Piggy gets in the bath. Great for practing rhymes.
Mike
My two year old loves this book so much she reccommends everyone read it to her.
Sarah
I'm a fan of Ms. Wood generally, but found this latest offering kinda random.
Rshogren
Cute book that kids will love. Might be too young for BMJ list.
Susan
Rather rollicking although it strays a bit towards the end....

food, baths

Not my favorite of their collaborations, but a fine addition. I enjoyed the short stories and the way the rhyme and the next action were pushed onto the following page so that children could anticipate what was going to happen next.
Bri Zabriskie
I can see kids loving this silly story but it isn't one I'd get much a kick out of reading to my kids and that's important to me.
