This is a fun book about a overly active pig and with a small attention span! The book starts out nice as the girl shares a pancake with her pet pig. The pancake leads to syrup, which leads to a bath, which leads to a rubber duck, which leads to a farm... Over and over, one thing leads to another and another and another idea or reminder or change of activity. And all along, the girl quietly follows behind answering its beckon call and cleaning up behind it. Until finally, the pig touches glue and makes her sticky which reminds it of syrup which makes her want a pancake. The story is funny and a great read aloud for young children. I would recommend ages 4-8. (

Book description

"If You Give a Pig a Pancake" is a story similar to "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie". It is a book that focuses on memorizaton, sequence, and fluency. The pig incessantly ask the little girl for more and more things. It is as if the pig can never be fully satisfied--"If you give a pig a pancake, he will ask for some syrup. If you give him some syrup, he will get all sticky and need a napkin.." Read and find out the other tasks and materials he asks for. The story is quite silly and children will have fun reading it.
