review 1: "Little Pink Pup" was an inspiring story about a pig who was the runt of his family. Because he was so small the family who took care of him did not think he would survive like the rest of his family, so they brought him to live inside of their house. When inside Pink, which was this little pig's name, met Tink, who was a dachshund mother of her own puppies. However, Tink began to care for Pink just like he was one of her own. Pink began to do things like the rest of his dachshund family and soon began to grow healthy and strong.This story really shows that a family does not have to all look the same. Pink looked very different from the dachshund puppies, but none of them cared. He was just their size and was friendly. Tink helped the little pig by nursing him back to heal... moreth, just like she would for any of her puppies. It is great for children to see this because they can point out similarities and differences. It also creates an emotional response for young children because they begin to really care about Pink the little pig. Students can imagine other animal pairs and discuss that animals can adopt each other just like we can adopt them. This can help them learn what adoption means but be aware that there may be some children who are sensitive to this subject. This book would be great for kindergarten to about second grade. The students who are younger can look at the pictures and be able to talk about it being a true story with real pictures. You can also relate this book to other books about pigs and dogs.
review 2: Very cute book! It talks about a pig who is the runt of a litter and is to small to stay in the barn because the other piglets are growing rapidly and the pink pup is to small to stay with them. The pink pup is brought into the house and raised with the dachshund pups. The pups make him feel right at home and don't notice that he is a different color or breed. They treat him just as if he is one of there own! Very family oriented! Acceptance is everything! less
