I remember when I found this book at my school's Scholastic Book Fair. I don't know why it stuck in my mind all these years, probably the rhythm and rhyming of the wording. My kids get to enjoy it now too! ( )

A fun James Marshall-illustrated rhythmic, rhyming, repetitive tale. Might be interesting with Arnold Lobel's Small Pig to explore the full realm of pig behavior; in this one, a family of anthropomorphized pigs has differing opinions on the value of muddiness, though they all come around in the end.

The Piggy in the Puddle by Charlotte Pomerantz is a wonderful, entertaining children’s book. I enjoyed reading it for many reasons; the main reason is for the rhyming throughout it. The rhyming makes it a tongue twister to read aloud, for example, “mud is squishy, mud is squashy, mud is oh so squishy-squashy”, and that makes it amusing to read. I also enjoyed this book for the illustrations in it, which are quite entertaining, yet simple. Each illustration only has the colors yellow, green, brown, and pink in it, and the setting stays the same the entire time. I also thought it was very humorous that the pigs were dressed in clothing, while still playing in the nasty mud. I am not sure of the true main idea of this book, but one could be that even though it may not seem the best idea to do something, it is all right to allow yourself to have fun and do something that you would not normally do.

This book is precious and such fun to read aloud. I read it to my two sons when they were little, and now my younger son and I are reading it to his toddler. This book is and will continue to always be a family favorite. ( )

"What you need is lots of soap.......Oofy poofy, oofy poofy NOPE!"

This is such a great book!!

It's about a piggy that doesn't want to come out of the mud puddle and take a bath.
Pomerantz plays with make believe words, hence the reason why the book is a great read aloud.
Exposing little ones to these phonemic rhyming patterns establishes a good foundation for school and reading.
Small children will LOVE to be read this book over and over and over......a MUST read! ( )
