Customer Reviews

Storytime favorite

This is the best book for preschool Storytime. Think cult westerns while reading out loud and even the grownups stop to listen. I have used this book in pig-themed, wild west-themed, hat-themed, and bully-themed storytime programs. It is one of my all time favorite books. A great read aloud.

teaches a lesson about bullies

In BIG PIG'S HAT, a gust of wind blows Big Pigs hat away. When he discovers that his hat is missing he assumes that someone has stolen it. All the citizens of Beansville USA are scared of Big Pig. When he comes into town everyone hides, except for Dirty Donkey. Big Pig accuses him of stealing his hat and tries to push Dirty Donkey around. Dirty Donkey takes a stand! He won't let Big Pig push him around! This book showed a positive example of someone standing up to a bully. My children also noticed that Big Pig shouldn't have jumped to conclusions when his hat was missing. I think this book teaches some valuable lessons. My children turn each page with excitement every time I read it.
