Kindergarten-Grade 2-Little Pig's parents are hilariously overwrought. If he doesn't wear a scarf-in addition to his sweater, mittens, boots, earmuffs, and hat-he'll "catch a cold-[and] miss second, third, AND fourth grades." Never mind that it is a sunny day with flowers blooming and that mom is wearing a sleeveless blouse and dad is dressed in shorts. His parents broadcast their culinary concerns over the loudspeaker in the cafeteria, equip his bathtub with an inner tube as well as a scoop net, and cordon off their front walk with orange safety cones and a yellow cautionary sawhorse when he bikes. "They treat me like a baby," thinks Little Pig, a wail that will resonate with both old and young. Preparing for a Snout Scout outing requires a big, floppy hat, extravagant amounts of sunscreen, sunglasses, long pants tucked into socks, feet laced into boots, and, a final humiliation, water wings-"Always wear [them] around water." But when the scout leader is absent and Ravenous, a lean substitute with suspiciously sharp teeth, leads the piglets into ever-increasing danger, it is Little Pig's excellent common sense that saves the troop. "From that day on, [he] was called Capable Pig, and his parents never, ever worried about him." This gentle lesson about letting go has bright gouache illustrations and a cheerful resolution that will appeal to children struggling for independence and to parents reluctant to let them go.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
This story was about a little pig that doesn't like how his parents are always worrying about him. He wishes that they will stop worrying so much about him. Little Pig wants to prove that he is capable. So one day Little Pig goes on a hiking trip with his fellow Snout Scouts. It is there that he proves that he is responsible, reliable, and capable of taking care of himself. This story teaches children to be responsible. It also lets them know that one day their parents will stop being as protective over them. The story also teaches children to listen to what their parents have to say because one day it will pay off. This book will catch the interest of many children. I would recommend it to any school teacher or parent that read to their children. |
