Synopsis
What does children's author Laura Numeroff have in common with Maurice Sendak, E. B. White, and Shel Silverstein? They have each sold more than a million copies of their books. But more important, they have managed to win the hearts of kids across the nation. Her bestselling If You Give a Moose a Cookie catapulted Numeroff into the upper echelons of children's literature. Now the creative team of Numeroff and illustrator Felicia Bond is back, with If You Give a Pig a Pancake . The stars of this long-awaited companion to
Children's Literature
Written with the same whimsical humor as the mouse and moose stories, Numeroff's book is another great addition to the insatiable animal collection. Through the behavior of a delightfully demanding pig, readers are shown the wonderfully erratic fashion in which young children seek out what they want, change their minds, and create general havoc in the course of a single day. Numeroff allows children to see themselves from a different angle by putting the child protagonist into the shoes of an awed, compliant, but sometimes nervous caretaker who must pick up after the pig. It may also give kids an idea of what it is like to be a parent. The vibrant illustrations are full of energy and humor to complement the twisting and turning narrative.
