review 1: Little Oink loves to be clean and tidy, but his parents say he must grow into a respectable, messy grown-pig. Gives fantastic vocabulary in the beginning (relish, dug, savor- for like!), but the end, to me, left something to be desired.However, I would definitely read this in a storytime because I think the kids would love that Little Oink's parents make him mess up his room instead of cleaning it!
review 2: I'm working on creating a booklist for my local public library. This book was one in consideration for this list.This review will be similar to my review for Little Hoot. It doesn't offer up a lesson on manners, ethics, morality, tolerance. So I won't be adding it to my list. However the story and illustrations are too adorable to pass up for storytimes... more, class projects, etc.However, if you are going to include both Little Hoot and Little Oink, it would not be a good idea, as the storylines are exactly the same with different characters. less
