Lobel, Anita. Playful
Pigs from A to Z. Alfred A.
Knopf (Random House), 2015. $16.99. PICTURE BOOK
Twenty-six “playful pigs” wake up one morning and decide to
go exploring. They wander into a
magically ABC field where each pig finds the letter that starts with their name
from A to Z. Each pig then plays with
their letter using a word that starts with the same letter. For example, “Imogen Pig Imitated an I.” The pigs then went home to eat dinner and
slept well because they had played all day.
This picture book is a twist on typical ABC books where there is a
picture of an item that starts with each letter, this book is more action oriented
with an action for each letter. The
illustrations are warm and playful. The
pigs aren’t dressed at the beginning or end, but once they go into the ABC
clothes they are anthropomorphized and wear and behave like humans. A delightful addition to the ABC book
genre.
Pre-K, EL-ADVISABLE.
