  I normally don’t include the picture books I read to my son on my Goodreads account or include them in each year’s reading challenge but this is my son’s current favorite and we’ve read it no less than a hundred times this month alone. I can recite this book from memory. So I’m counting it.

  A cute take on the "this little piggie" idea. The art and concept was just a little odd to me, but it's totally personal taste and I can see this being a big hit with some readers ;-)

  Adorable and silly, quite a lot of fun to read aloud to small children and point at the pictures.

  "... eu os ponho todos juntos, numa fila para dois beijos gordinhos,
  dois beijos espertos,
  dois beijos compridos,
  dois beijos bobinhos"

  “Piggies” is another engaging book by the lovable duo, Audrey Wood and Don Wood and the book is full of the adventures that ten little piggies have while they sit on the fingers of a small child and doing crazy acts on each finger. “Piggies” is a truly fun and imaginative book for children who love pigs and would love a book that they can read over and over again.
  
  Audrey and Don Wood had done a fantastic job at both writing and illustrating this book of innocent playfulness. This time, both Audrey Wood and Don Wood wrote this book even though Don Wood did the illustrations and they wrote this book in a sort of “this little piggy went to the market” lyrical manner as each little piggy in this book do various things on a small child’s fingers whenever the situations or the weather changes and children will easily delight in naming off the various types of weather and situations the piggies are thrown into. Don Wood’s illustrations are simply beautiful and hilarious as the hands that the little piggies sit on look extremely realistic yet hilarious as the piggies do comedic antics on the fingers of the two hands. Also, the images of the piggies performing wild stunts on the fingers of the small hands such as the image of the purple mittens that cover the two hands when the weather is cold and the piggies are dressed up in snowsuits and having snowball fights on the fingertips of the two mitten covered hands. What is truly creative about the illustrations done by Don Wood is that the illustrations mainly focused on the two hands of a small child throughout the entire book while the little piggies play among the fingers of the child which makes the book extremely unique to look at since no other children’s book focus on mainly images of two hands while small imaginary creatures play among the fingers.
  
  “Piggies” is an extremely cute book for children who love books full of creatively and pigs! I would recommend this book for children ages three and up since there is nothing inappropriate in this book and the story is extremely easy to read.

  Wood, Audrey and Don Piggies Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1991. BOARD BOOK Content: G.
  
  A child’s right and left hand show the thumb, index, middle, ring and pinkie fingers with little piggies sitting on the top. Some of the piggies are smart, some are silly, sometimes they get cold and sometimes they get hot. But at bedtime they all cozy in together and kiss each other goodnight.
  
  The illustrations of the piggies throughout are adorable. This is a great goodnight story and one that little readers will adore. I love the cute pictures and the creative portrayal of human fingers.

  Piggies is a creative children's book that can instill lessons about bed time. It shows the relationship between girl piggies and boy piggies with all different types of bodies and personalities. This book also discusses different activities they take through out the day, therefore, it is very relate-able for young readers. This book could be used as a fun read-aloud or exercise for silent reading practice.

  Perfect for the littles in your life. Quite adorable and I'd love to own it. My 9 year old enjoyed it equally as my 6,4, and 2 year olds did! The busy, yet beautiful illustrations kept us re-reading it all week.

  I LOVE the illustrations of dancing pigs and dirty pigs, and all the cute pigs. Perfect for infants and toddlers.

  I like this book because piggies dance dance dance dance dance dance dance, then they sleep... but not at bedtime! They dance on his toes, which are these [indicates toes].

  Aproape halucinant de frumoase ilustraţiile. Despre jocul unui copil cu degeţelele.

  Creative and fun, kids can really engage as you read with their own "little piggies." Super simple text without a lot of story, this one is good as a quick addition to a preschool story time near the end when kids are almost done to draw them back in and get them active at the same time. (Let them act out the story with their own hands). It's also a good one to read to toddlers and have them act it out with their fingers, too. A great engaging group read.

  I love the illustrations of the book, even though some of the piggies look a little weird. The hands and toes are nicely drawn and look fairly lifelike. It is an easy read and I'm sure Kindergarteners would love it. Even though the piggies start out on the fingers, it brings back fond memories of playing This Little Piggy with my children.

  I don’t remember having a problem with this book when I was little. And, for the most part I still like it. There are just a couple of weird parts— like the ballerina pig whose leotard sits kinda funny on her butt (is that just me)? And also, I’m the baby pigs kissing at the end and because it’s just a picture we have no idea how long they’ve been kissing? I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️.

  This book was my introduction to the marvelous work of Audrey and Don Wood. The story about our ten fingers is imaginative and absolutely delightful! You can't beat the art! It's a great book for bedtime, but really anytime is a good time to read this treasure!

  The adventures of ten little piggies while they sit on the fingers of a small child and doing things on each finger. Good fun for pre-schoolers.

  Cute but also kind of creepy.
