Review
Simply precious! I read this for both a toddler and preschool story time, and each age group seemed to appreciate the colorful illustrations, humorous story-line, and rhyming prose (with just a dash of onomatopoeia). The book features a familiar series of woodland creatures, with the exception of the unconventional main character - a pig wearing a bright red, poufy wig. The group embarks on a lovely picnic outing only to discover soon after that the weather is about to take a turn for the worse, forcing them to abandon their original plans. Working together, the friends learn to find a silver lining in their predicament, showing the reader that it's not where you are, but who you are with that really matters. Sweet message and fun for readers of all ages!
Overall Book Score: excellent
