The fox thinks it's his lucky day when a piglet knocks on his door. He plans to eat the piglet for dinner, but the piglet outfoxes him in the end!Just have to say, this book is super cute and a fun book to read to 3 year olds. My daughter absolutely adores it. She wants me to read it over and over. We received the book in the mail from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. It was a free book and we receive a new book each month. My daughter loves getting books in the mail.
Ok so now that the PSA info has been added, time to get down and dirty with Mr. Piglet. LOL. This pig is freaking awesome. In the beginning of the book, the reader is led to believe that the poor piglet ended up on the fox's door by accident, but through his actions, we find out that really wasn't the case. It was never Mr. Fox's lucky day, it was always Mr. Piglet's day. Keiko Kasza did a wonderful job writing the book. I'm not sure if Kasza also illustrated the book (I'm assuming since I cannot find an illustrator) but the artwork is great. Kasza really made the reader feel as if they were in the fox's home by putting funny "family" pictures on the wall... Pictures of Mr. Fox with some of his hunting kills, Mr. Fox lifting weights, that kind of thing. It really is a cute book and while it may or may not give young readers a moral (other than to be careful what you wish for), it's a great read. Good job Kasza!
