FROM THE PUBLISHER

Using the soft, colorful hand puppet, parents and children can make the fingertip piggies come to life. And the board book, featuring a kinder and gentler version of the well-known nursery rhyme, is conveniently nestled in the palm of the puppet, making the entire package self-contained and perfect for reading aloud.

FROM THE CRITICS

Publishers Weekly

More puppet fun awaits in a pair of Hand-Puppet Board Books by Michelle Berg: This Little Piggy and Old MacDonald. A glove attached to the tiny board book's back cover allows little hands to animate all five piggies, from the first that heads to market to the fifth saying, "Wee, wee, wee," all the way home. And readers inhabit a quintet of farm animals (cow, dog, pig and more) in the second. The pastel illustrations in the tiny board books are just as inviting as the puppets themselves.

A glove has a book and finger puppets attached. Slip it on and open the pages. The tale begins with one little piggy off to the market, one says home, another has cookies, while the fourth one has fun on a swing. The last little piggy says "Wee, wee, wee" all the way home. While the rhyme has never struck a cord with me, it is a popular one and is one usually played with babies and toddlers toes. The finger puppets do match the text and illustrations so some care and thought was given to its creation. A useful item for amusing little ones when they may be having a fretful day. It can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. 2004, Scholastic, Ages 3 mo. to 2.
