Customer Reviews

Delightful!

When reading these with my young son, I felt all the warmth and foibles of real friendships. I enjoyed them as much as my 6 year old. Heartwarming and charming.

We love Poppleton!

My second grade students love the Poppleton books. There is just the right touch of humor. I read the books to them as each season comes. They can't wait for me to put them into the sharing shelves. Poppleton the pig is a likeable character who has little adventures and delimmas to solve. It is written in early chapter book style- with each chapter being it's own little story. We have all of the Poppleton books and wish there were more! With Cynthia Rylant and Mark Teague as author and illustrator you can't go wrong!

As always, Poppleton is a joy to read

This latest book of Poppleton is just as sweet and gentle as the others, and it is easy reading for my 2nd grader. You can't go wrong with this book. "The Bust" chapter is the funniest with Cherry Sue, in which Poppleton wants to sculpt a bust of Cherry Sue, but can't remember what she looks like. "The Icicles" chapter in which he meets a clumsy little finch, Patrick, and the "Sleigh Ride" are also good-natured stories that bring the feel of winter to the reader which is perfect for the upcoming snowy season.
