My son's favorite

This was my favorite book as a child. My sister used to read it to me every night before bed. For my son's first birthday, she finally found a copy (she tried when my daughter was born 5 years ago). Now my son loves it. He doesn't want us to read anything else. At bed time when you say let's go read a story he grabs Hamilton. He is not even 2 but he knows what he likes and wants and this is his favorite.

My All Time Favorite Children's Book!

This book is absolutely delightful. It is a favorite book for me to share with children. It has rhythmic rhymes, humor, surprises, and it is easy for children to join in with you while you read to them. In this story the wolf "gets it" from the pig in the end. If you have a child ages 4-7 you need this book. It will be one they ask you to read over and over again.PS - I also use this book while teaching my college Psychology class. I use it to introduce the topic of obesity. My freshman love this book too and they get a kick out of the story line.

Cute story about a pig

We found the book "Hamilton" in a 2nd hand store. My daughter (4 yrs old) really loved this book. The pictures were wonderful and expressive. I would caution parents of children under 2-1/2 due to the wolf pictures. The wolf is portrayed as "mean" and the pictures express this. A story about a pig who was teased because he was fat teaches children that you can be a hero no matter what size you are.
