If You Give a Pig a Pancake is a funny book about what happens next if you give a pig a pancake. The short story takes you through all of the whimsical adventures of a pig and his friend.

I had always heard of this book until one day, several years ago I read it to my class. This is one of those books that has to be read several times because you cannot just read it once.

Children love this book and love to recite it along with the story teller. This book would be a good way to introduce learning about different animals. You could do a theme day or week with pigs for K-2nd using this book.

This is another cute book like "if you give a moose a muffin." The pig just wants and wants and get distracted by everything around him. It will keep kids laughing and wonderding what the pig will think of next. I like how the story always comes back to the beginning, or in each case, the title of wanting a pancake. ( )

This is another book by the same author as, "If you give a Mouse a Cookie." Although there is no educational value in this book, this is just a funny book that I think most kids appreciate and will find humerous when they find out what happens to the pig when he keeps asking for more, more, more. This is a cute book to own in your library for a fun and humorous read.

Children in preschool and kindergarden would love this book. One thing triggers another, and if the pig sees something, he wants more of something else. It starts with a little girl giving the pig a pancake, which causes him to want some syrup, which causes him to want quite a few more other things before we are at the end when he is back to wanting a pancake to go with syrup.

http://www.lauranumeroff.com/ Incredible website! There is information on the author, on her books, information for parents and teachers, and even a link for kids to play on.

This is a book about what happens when you give a pig a pancake. One thing keeps leading to another as soon as the pig gets the pancake he asks for syrup, and gets sticky and then asks for a bath, and then wants bubbles and a rubber duck. It keeps going on until the end when the pig gets all sticky again and is reminded of the syrup on the pancake and then wants another one. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0060266864, Hardcover)

"If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it. You'll give her some of your favorite maple syrup. She'll probably get all sticky, so she'll want to take a bath." You get the idea. Baths lead to bubbles, bubbles lead to rubber ducks, rubber ducks lead to wanting a trip to the farm. If You Give a Pig a Pancake is a delightful exploration of the scenario "if you give an inch, they'll take a mile." But who could refuse the whims of this adorable piglet? Not us, and certainly not the pig's young caretaker. Parents will feel a familiar twinge as they witness the pig's increasingly elaborate demands, and kids will be delighted that the story circles back around to the original pancake. Laura Numeroff and illustrator Felicia Bond--well-loved creators of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You Give a Moose a Muffin--succeed again in concocting a marvelously skewed study of cause and effect that inevitably results in a riotous read-aloud. Your kids will ask for this book again and again, and you won't want to refuse. (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson
