Board Book Blog #2

Title: Here’s a Happy Pig
Author and Illustrator: Colin and Jacqui Hawkins
Publisher: Candlewick Press
Publication Date: 1987
ISBN Number: 1561484415

Amanda’s Rating: 3.5/5

Summary: Here’s a Happy Pig is an interactive board book about animals. The book has holes in it to allow the reader to wiggle their fingers and almost make the animals come to life.  The book introduces children to different kinds of animals and allows the person reading to them to bring the book to life. 

Evaluation: Here’s a Happy Pig is a fun, quick children’s book that allows parents to use their fingers to add movements to the animals inside.  Young children would be very entertained by the fingers poking through the book that add an element of silliness to it.  It is entertaining while also educating children about what different animals look like.

  1. Amanda, I like how this book involves the children to use their fingers and hands as they are going through the book. When books have a sense of humor in them, it makes the students want to read more!
