review 1: Not your usual counting book and I suppose it could be a little more mathy than your standard 1,2,3 format. The first part of the book, there are too many animals and not enough things for everyone (2 bears, 1 pair of underwear; Six cats, 5 mats)... someone is always getting left out. Actually, my little guy was starting to get a little emotional about the poor left out animal. The book takes a turn at pigs giving each other piggyback rides and all the animals figure out ways to share and NO ONE is left out. Whew.Illustrations are hilarious (great endpaper art,especially).
review 2: Well, I can guarantee you this: if you read this book to a group of preschoolers, you’re gonna get a lot of giggling.Here’s the problem: there is this really cool pair of gian... moret underwear, and two fuzzy bears who both want to wear it. They refuse to share the underwear. So one bear is left yelling out, “This is not fair!” The book continues in a like fashion. There are three items, for example, and four animals who want them, so three animals take them, and one animal is left out and unhappy. It is not until we reach ten twisty slides and 20 pigs who want to slide that we meet some animals who are capable of sharing and working together. The pigs’ solution of riding down piggyback (how else?) allows everyone to enjoy the fun of sliding, and encourages the other animals to share the items they had previously taken, all the way back down to the two fuzzy bears sharing one big pair of underwear.The illustrations are produced in an adorable cartoon style that has a lot of appeal to children, and there is humor in each illustration, as well.My two fears (and I am not kidding) is that sometime later this week we will hear reports of pre-k kiddos [1] trying to go down the slide piggyback, and [2] creating havoc and hysteria in the bathroom by trying to share their underwear. They are pretty literal! less
