If You Give A Pig A Pancake


If You Give A Pig A Pancake is written by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond. This book described the effects of giving a pig a pancake. The pig will want syrup, it will make her sticky, she'll need a bath, she'll want bubbles... The little pig wears the little girl out after all the events that follow simply giving a pig a pancake.
The pig in this book reminds me of a little kid. They want this, need that, you have to take them here, make them that, etc. It is an exhausting day trying to keep up with these little active kids. They never stop and are always on the go! :)
I think the illustrations coordinated really well with the story. The pictures did a great job of depicting the day's chaos. I especially like the last picture in the book of the little girl sleeping on the table with a mess all around her while the pig is sitting on the table wide awake and laughing. Very cute- who would have thought giving a pig a pancake would be so exhausting?!
