I did get to read a few children's books this weekend as well. I decided I would pick my favorite to review! So here it is!
Oink? by Margie Palatini and Illustrated by Henry Cole
This book was definitely cute! The first thing that catches your eye is the illustrations which are very colorful and big! As you read, you quickly discover many intriguing characters, including the two main characters, Thomas and Joseph; two pigs who are "sloppy, lazy and dirty."
The book is about the two pigs who are happy being lazy, and their neighbors who aren't okay with this. A decision that motivates them to attempt to make the pigs lives better in the way of health and cleanliness.
In this cute story, the reader is presented with the lesson that looks aren't what you should judge people (or in this case animals) by. Joesph and Thomas may appear to be lazy and sloppy to their neighbors, but the reader soon learns otherwise.
Overall this was a very cute book. It is a very simple story that grabs the readers attention. I feel that it would be great for children anywhere between 4 to 8 or 9.
