Customer Reviews

A great book

My three-year-old found this at our local library and, even though we only had it couple weeks, she still talks about it! It is a simple book with cute pictures, but perfect for any little "piggies" who are deeply attached to their mommies. The refrain of "But piglet wanted his mommy" is sweet and true.

WONDERFUL BED-TIME STORY - A WELL DONE LITTLE BOOK.

Piglet has lost her mom and starts her search. This is a wonderful little bed-time or read along story for the little ones. The art work by Stephen King is great and the text by Margaret Wild is easy to follow. Piglet, in her quest for her "lost" mom encounters various barnyard critters such as a duck, dog, horse, can and several others. All these friendly animals try to make piglet feel better in offering her different activities such as the horse who asks her to dance in the daffodils. Piglet of course just wants her mom. The story is cute, kids seem to like it and it is fun to read to the little ones. With the well done pictures, great text and nice story, what more could you want. Recommend this one highly.

precious story about how there's no one like Mama

While you shouldn't be tricked into buying a book by the cover, this one did for me! The illustration on the front of the two cute pigs was just too adorable to pass up. The story is about a Piglet looking for her Mama and while she finds other animal Mamas on her search, they just aren't HER Mama. Heartwarming bedtime tale.

If you have a little one that loves their Mama

This book is so adorable and is a must if you have a little one that just LOVES their Mama so much.

Adorable story

This book is about a little piglet that has lost his mother. He goes around looking for her, encountering other animals along the way that invite the piglet to join them in some sort of activity. The piglet only wants her mama. When she finds her mama, they enjoy all of the activities together ending up taking a nap snuggled up together. This is an adorable book to read with your child. My 20 month old daughter, snuggles up beside me before bed while I read it to her.
