These Little Piggies Go To the Beach is a fun take on the traditional and classic rhyme. It has a nice rhyming cadence to it that young children would enjoy. I loved the fun illustrations. They were colourful, vibrant and full of activity. The story was a family of mother, dad and three little piggies. A cute gift for a pre-school child. A great addition to a family library or a pre-school or kindergarten classroom.

I love how the author took the standard nursery rhyme and made it a complete story. This little piggy when to the beach, this little piggy brought food, etc. It works wonderfully, and the illustrations make it pop.

This is a take on the traditional rhyme (This little piggy went to market . . . .).  It is told in a rhyming cadence that little ones will no doubt love. There are lots of fun, colorful illustrations.

Cons:  None

Pros: A book that preschoolers will soon be reading along with you. The illustrations have plenty of details about the visit to the beach that kids will want to stop and look at them.

This is a charming story and a variation of the five little piggies nursery rhyme. Here the piggy parents and their three children head out to the beach in the family convertible. The illustrations are a delight--full of small details and colors that are sure to appeal to toddlers, preschool age children and early readers. The rhyme scheme helps make the text appealing to younger children and the predictable nature of it will help early readers anticipate words and gain confidence through reading. This is great title to add to the home collection or library.
