Pigs are Prepared

Description

It's an exciting, great big world out there! With some foresight and preparation, three charming little pigs are ready to take on any adventure, from summer picnics to rainy days, with a smile. Three little piggies just can't wait to play! But first, they plan what they'll need for each day . . . These little pigs are ready for anything! Readers will squeal with delight as they open the book's map-inspired cover to help the piggies find their way, then join them in their adventurous, fun-filled day! Transition times can be tricky, but this sweet rhyming story provides toddlers with a shining example of how to get ready for whatever comes next in their days. From wearing sunscreen and water wings when they go swimming, to packing the perfect picnic for a sunny day, to sporting helmets when they ride bikes, these little pigs know exactly what to bring to make every moment safe - and special.

Hans Wilhelm is the author and illustrator of more than 200 books, most of them for children. Most recently, he authored the original novelty books Pigs in a Blanket and Guess Which Hand. His work has been translated into over 30 languages worldwide. He lives in Weston, Connecticut. Erica Salcedo is the illustrator of Pigs in a Blanket, Pigs in a Pickle, and Pigs at a Party. She lives in Cuenca, Spain.

"Salcedo's digital artwork is lively and colorful and gives each pig a distinct personality and appearance. Children will enjoy the visual humor of an illustration showing the slim pig who wears eyeglasses running away from a swarm of bees. Wilhelm's jaunty rhymes roll off the tongue . . . [C]aregivers seeking to teach young children organizational skills and good safety habits, particularly with respect to outdoor play, will appreciate this offering. Preparation matters, and so does this board book."-Kirkus Reviews
