Reviews

PreSchool-Grade 1-Two appealing offerings for beginning readers. One hot day, Big Pig and Little Pig both decide to build their own pools. Although Big Pig likes to do things on a small scale (using a shovel to dig) and Little Pig likes to accomplish tasks on a grander scale (excavating with a bulldozer), they are still great friends. McPhail's signature illustrations fill each page as he once again successfully manages to transfer human emotions to his lovable cartoon pigs. Well-chosen vocabulary and repetition of words make this story a suitable choice for those just learning to read. In Tiger, a little girl comes across a variety of animals before finding her lost cat. Ernst illustrates the story with appealing cartoons in pastel colors. Her uncomplicated artwork invites children to make the connection between the words and the pictures, giving them plenty to look at while providing effective visual reinforcement for the appropriately simple text.

Gr. K-1. A little girl pours food into her cat's bowl, calling him in, but Tiger's nowhere to be found. Is he in the bed? No. The dog is in the bed. In the box? No. The rabbit's in the box. The search continues, adding a frog and a turtle to the menagerie, until Tiger finally appears. The text is perfect for the earliest readers to puzzle out, with the simplest words printed in large, clear type on plenty of clean, white space. Ernst's pastel-colored cartoon illustrations add an appealing, lighthearted touch while offering plenty of clues about the action. This Green Light reader is an inviting offering. Gillian Engberg
