Reviews

Grade 1-3 Three more easy-to-read stories starring the lovable pig and his friends. The text never exceeds six lines per page, and Rylant employs plenty of repetition and rhyming words to recount Poppleton's adventures. In the first story, he invites two southbound Canada geese in for cookies. As soon as they leave, five more land and come in for a treat. As soon as they are gone, eight more arrive, leaving their genial host exhausted. Next, Poppleton shops for a winter coat, and in the third selection, he and Cherry Sue attend the Lion's Club's annual Pancake Breakfast (prepared by lions, of course). Teague's whimsical watercolors are full of humorous touches and seasonal details. A perfect package for beginning readers that will be read and shared throughout the year. Olga R.
