The Book Hog by Greg Pizzoli
What's with all the pink? Lately there has been a resurgence of pink, strikingly pink books. For the record, I like pink books. In fact, pink book cover groupings were one of our most popular library displays. People seem to like their book covers pink. But let's get back to Greg Pizzoli's latest title for young readers. This charming little piggie travels around town on his Vespa, searching for books. (Okay the vehicle is green. But is serves as a nice color contrast to the omnipresent pink.) But here's the kicker: although he has an extensive collection of books, Hog doesn't know how to read. One day, he happens upon a long low building filled with books. He's in hog heaven! When he attempts to abscond with an armload of books, the gentle librarian, Miss Olive offers to read with him. |

Bonus: Buttons!
The children that I often work with adore buttons. They can't get enough of them and I'm always running out of buttons to hand put into little hands. This Book Hog button is the best! I wish that I had a wholesale account and could order a dozen dozen, i.e. a gross. My little readers would snatch them up in a heartbeat. Any way to get these from a retail source? |
