Perfect Piggies by Sandra Boyton

First of all the confession! Perfect Piggies by Sandra Boynton was sent into Parenting Without Tears for review months ago! It's not that I didn't want want to write about it, simply that it has become such a daily party of our lives that I assumed I had.

So belatedly my thoughts – the previous sentence says it all. Harriet adores it as much now as when we first had it. At Christmas (at eight months) she went straight to the bookshelf and pulled it out (for an admiring audience) and daily she has to have it read to her several times.

Perfect Piggies is a beautufully concieved, exquisitely illustrated book. The rhymes are inspired:

"And look at these ears so floppy and fine.
You have to admit it we're fabulous swine!"

And I have to say as someone who has read Perfect Piggies over and over again the story never palls.

If you hadn't given pigs much thought before, you'll be a fan after reading Sandra Boynton's tribute. You can also download a free musical version of the book which Harriet finds delightful.

Perfect Piggies – a perfect book for small children.
