Daddy Daughter Day: If You Give a Pig a Pancake

I just checked to make sure and today is Friday. It is time for another installment of Daddy Daughter Day. Today I continue previewing our daughter's Christmas books with If You Give a Pig a Pancake by Laura Numeroff, illustrated by Felicia Bond.

This is a fun book that lays out the consequences of offering a pig a pancake. Of course the pig will want syrup to go with it. But with this story, the next steps just keep coming. Somehow the pig ends up in the bath tub and the little girl is building a tree house at one point. The whole story loops back around to the pig wanting a pancake. Funny how that works.

The pictures are bright and the text is short and to the point. Two wins for a three year old audience. Throw in a rubber duckie and bit of a mess and you have the perfect mixture.

Laura Numeroff is the author of many children's books, including Beatrice Doesn't Want To.
