Piggy Pie
What a lovely review. My mother is June Talarczyk. She illustrated over 30 books for T.S. Denison when I was growing up. She and Jane Riley also combined their talent on "The Little Seal With Meal Appeal" (my personal favorite) and "A Golden Christmas Jewel". I showed her this page and she was overjoyed. June would be interested in hearing from anyone interested in her childrens books.

We giggle every time we read it again
The story is a combination of Old MacDonald's Farm and the 3 Little Pigs. The illustrations are wonderful. Little children like the secrets in the pictures. Older children like the wicked sense of humor. It is fun to read this to anyone who will be read to. And no one EVER says,"Oh, I've already read that. Let's find something else."

Attractive, but light on information
This handsome book is a great introduction to the planets for the young reader. The pages are hard, cardboard-like, each with a clear plastic "window" that contains a drawing of the planet being discussed. When the book is closed, then all of the planets are visible at the same time. Each planet is covered with about a page worth of information.

This book is very attractive, and is a good resource for young children. However, I must make clear that there is very little information here, which means that older students will not find this book useful. Contrary to the recommended reading level of 9-12, I would suggest that this book would be most valuable for reader between the levels of 7-9; my seven-year old son enjoyed this book immensely. So, I would give this book a qualified recommendation.
