Summary/Back cover:
Piggity-Wiggity Jiggity Jig
was a long sort of name for a short sort of pig
Piggity-Wiggity Jiggity Jig lives with his parents and eight siblings, all of whom have ordinary names of ordinary length. He doesn't like being different - until Dad explains just how special Piggity-Wiggity really is.
I've already rambled on about my love of Kiwi kid's authors, so this fits the bill perfectly. And has the added benefit of being set in Wellington! (Karori specifically)
Rich, flowing rhyming scheme, gorgeous illustrations and the heartfelt message combine for a feel-good story. This is also the first in a series of Piggity-Wiggity books, so if you enjoy them as much as we do, you can go onto get more. A better read for older kiddies, but the longer length is a perfect bedtime read for our littlies as the rhyming pattern and pictures will hold their interest.
5/5
