I love giving this book out because all of my friends' children have been gloriously photo-documented romping through pumpkin patches every year (as I have witnessed via Facebook), and I want to reinforce those memories. Also: This book is fantastic! It has the most high-energy, charming words and pictures ever! D--who reads picture books today exactly the way he would have as a much younger D (i.e. preoccupied, needing to be won over)--got caught up in the endpapers right away, which map out th...more
This is a cute little picture book that is perfect for reading aloud to toddlers. I'm sure my two-year-old niece would get a kick out of it. The two piggies run all over the farm and through the pages of the book getting into all sorts of trouble.
It's a simple book with not much storyline and the text is OK but nothing special. I liked how the words varied on each page, so sometimes they were slanted, or curving through the pigs adventures. It made the book a bit more visually appealing. I woul...more

A simple, short jam-packed story with action words like sneak, peek, crash, dash and a slew of prepositions. But it is not boring, no way, these little piggies are off on a chase which leads them into trouble.
This concept book has the perfect combination of story and education value. Kids will be engaged with the story of the chase wondering where the piggies will end up next, while adults will appreciate the vocabulary building aspects of the book. The text is short and descriptive; one of thos...more

Cute, but not spectacular. The text is fun and alliterative, the short length making it great for the youngest audiences. A lot of the story and action is contained in the pictures so that they work well with the text, especially with the fun round shapes which are echoed across the page. However, there's not quite enough artistry to really make the book shine. The endpapers that map the piggies's journey add a little depth to the book and might provide enough meat for somewhat older children to...more
I always look forward to new pumpkin/fall picture books but this one just did not do it for me. I like the illustrations but the text went on too long for me. The front and back endflaps are adorable (great mapping skills) if only the book jacket did not get in the way :( It is a great book for teaching young readers adjectives and prepositions. This title works for farm life, pigs, the letter P and of course pumpkins.
Good for teaching prepositions - the piggies go "under crinkly, clean sheets, over growing, green beans, behind snoring, sleepy sheep" on a little adventure around the farm. Nice alliteration, and cute art. Might be fun to make a bulletin board or a student-made book "Piggies in the classroom", or have students act out different prepositions in the room or the playground.
The book covers opens with a map of the farm. The map is very descriptive because it has pictures of sheeps, pigs, barns and even tractors. This is an easy to read book with colorful pictures of pumpkin. It has many prepositions such as under, over, behind and into. In addition, I can see that this book should be read with a lot of expression.
This is a rollicking, fun story about two mischievous piggies (in a pumpkin patch, of course.) The illustrations are adorable and the narrative is short and wanders throughout the pages. I would recommend this book for the preschool-1st grade age group, although my third grader would probably like it too.
This book has great illustrations and few words. It would be good for beginning readers. Piggies on a farm cause chaos in the pumpkin patch when they dash through it on different occasions.
Good for a fall storytime with the pumpkin angle, but not spectacular. The alliteration is great but the "plot" is pretty meandering, and I guess I just prefer meter and rhyme too much.
Very simple text that shows the circular adventures of two pigs, beginning and ending in the pumpkin patch. Might be tied to any of Numeroff’s circular stories.
While mama pig naps, two little pigs venture out of the pumpking patch and into mischief on the farm. Illustrations are simple and very cute.
Simple story about piggies acting out throughout the day. Beginning and ending in the pumpkin patch. Good for baby/toddler storytime
Although, uses some great high frequency words for the classroom. The text does not always flow and the pictures are flat.
Cute book! Like all the places the piggies run through, and I'm a sucker for a pumpkin patch, too. Cute illustrations.
This book has simple text and could be used for Kindergarten. It could be used on a lesson about prepositions.
A cute story, perfect for a toddler story time and the illustrations are adorable!
This book could be used to teach adjectives. It also has some rhyming words.
One of the most adorable children's books for fall :)
Cute enough ... especially for teaching prepositions.
