Iggy Pig's Skippy Day by Vivian French
Iggy Pig has just learned to skip. Lucky Lamb, Chicky Chick, Bunny Rabbit and a big grey wolf skip along behind him. Iggy Pig can skip harder and faster, and for longer, than anybody else! Especially a hungry wolf. This is an easy-to-read first reader.
Full of fun and illustrated on each page * Literacy & Learning *
Exuberant black and white drawings on every page break up the simple repetative textLots to giggle over here and an ideal first reader * Wanstead & Woodford Guardian *
'These delightful tales about a young pig and his farmyard friends contain ample repetition within robustly patterned texts which, along with matching illustrations, prove very accessible to novice readers. Additionally, the allusion to what big grey animals tend to do to little pigs makes for compulsive stories which, in Margaret Meek's words, 'mean more than they say'. This is the way to learn to read - more please. * The School Librarian, July 1999 *
