PreS-Gr 1—Pig is in love with lovely Piggie, his next door neighbor. But when he tries to woo her, Piggie's father steps in and tells Pig that he can marry Piggie when "Pigs can fly." The porcine hero decides to build a set of wings, but it doesn't go so well. Instead, Pig and Piggie run off together in a hot air balloon bound for the moon and piloted by Cow. While the story doesn't cover new territory, the anthropomorphic pigs in dresses, hats, pants, and darling scarves will delight young readers. The rhyming text is ideal for beginning readers who may not be ready for longer or more complex books.
VERDICT A nice addition for a library that wants to expand its rhyming easy reader collection.
