subversive, funny, wise
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I came across this book after telling our local librarian that my son was interested in things that are broken, injured, and subtly dangerous. Weird? Who cares! She pointed us toward "Little Pig," and we wore out its pages. It's so kooky and funny with a meaningful message for today's helicopter parents. Thank you, Denis Roach.
A little pig that thinks his parents worry too much
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This story was about a little pig that doesn't like how his parents are always worrying about him. He wishes that they will stop worrying so much about him. Little Pig wants to prove that he is capable. So one day Little Pig goes on a hiking trip with his fellow Snout Scouts. It is there that he proves that he is responsible, reliable, and capable of taking care of himself. This story teaches children to be responsible. It also lets them know that one day their parents will stop being as protective over them. The story also teaches children to listen to what their parents have to say because one day it will pay off. This book will catch the interest of many children. I would recommend it to any school teacher or parent that read to their children.
