Kid's Book Review

I have had the idea of a kids book group simmering on the back burner for several months. Unfortunately, I have too many ideas simmering there and not enough time. Solution? Blog a group! Take a few minutes and do book reviews for a few kids books and take some time to browse those already done. Then, once a month, add a few more. Feel free to add your comments to books you have read that have already been reviewed. When you do your review, please do one book per post, and use the scale on the right to rate your book. Add whatever additional information you would like!

This book is about a little pig who wants to do some special things for her mom, but makes a bunch of big messes in the process. I hate to admit it, but the little pig reminds me of Joy and Brigham! The illustrations are super cute, and the pigs just make me happy. It is very short, so it keeps the attention of even the youngest readers. I would definitely recommend this one.
