About this title

Review:

If you give a kid If You Give a Pig a Pancake, she'll want the pig to go with it. Fortunately, here is one request you can indulge without a lot of muss and fuss. Laura Numeroff's utterly charming If You Give books (including If You Give a Moose a Muffin and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie) are full of the circular reasoning and desperate "needs" of small children. In Numeroff's most recent book, an adorable piglet slurps syrup, borrows her caretaker's tap shoes, and wallpapers a tree house in a nonstop stream of consciousness thought process. This special miniature edition of the book comes with the endearingly demanding protagonist herself. Sporting tap shoes and a spiffy green, gold, and red scarf, and holding a detachable plush pancake, this 7-inch peachy pink velour pig is irresistible. Small children will need to stand guard at their bedroom doors to prevent their big sisters from absconding with the sweet-toothed swine. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

From the Inside Flap:

If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it. You'll give her some of your favorite maple syrup. She'll probably get all sticky, so she'll want to take a bath. She'll ask you for some bubbles. When you give her the bubbles . . .

Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond have done it again! In keeping with their best-sellers IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE and IF YOU GIVE A MOOSE A MUFFIN, chaos is the order of the day when an accommodating little girl tries to keep up with the whims of a busy little pig.
