Customer Reviews

A Huge Hog is... a cute book

I have to say the other reviewer was right. Some kids, even though they are five, don't get the humor. But ya know, they will soon. Humor like many other things doesn't come to children all at the same time. That said, I thought this book was funny and cute and --Oh, how I hope my daughter 'gets it' soon so she will stop with the terrible knock-knock jokes. Four stars. Great pictures. I laughed; kids will get it eventually. But Minus 1 Star because there really needed to be more jokes for this price.

A lot of rhyming fun

"A Huge Hog Is a Big Pig," by Francis McCall and Patricia Keeler, is an enjoyable book. Each 2-page spread contains a riddle for which you have to guess a two-word rhyming response; when you turn the page, you have the answer. Examples: "A huge hog is a. . . BIG PIG." "A silly rabbit is a . . . FUNNY BUNNY." The book, which is set on a farm, is illustrated throughout with entertaining pictures of children and farm animals. Overall, a book with a lot of likeable energy.

A Ton of Fun (For Everyone!)

This book is sure to be a 'rave fave' with hip tykes of all stripes. If you're looking for an interactive, playful book for kids, THIS IS IT! Kids & adults will have great fun reading it together. My kids were truly engaged by trying to guess the answers to the clues and couldn't wait to get to the next page. (Even grown-ups will get into the game!) Plus, 'A Huge Hog' features a diverse cast of cute kids & animals in bold, eye-catching photographs. The bright layout is the perfect compliment to the witty word game. I can guarantee that you'll want to keep on playing even when you're done reading!
