The story is cute and simple, but the illustrations are awesome. These are the cutesy piggies I have ever seen. What a big, fun family. I want to cuddle the tiny pigs. Perfect for my little ones.
A good option for a pig, food, or Thanksgiving theme. The rhyming worked well. There is counting in there. That could help it work for Toddler. This would be more of a filler in Preschool. The best part is the humor found in the illustrations, best seen in a lap-read or read-alone.11/23/16 Used in food/Thanksgiving preschool theme. We counted the pigs and showed the fingers as we kept adding piggies. The kids liked that part. The newer boy figured out what was happening to daddy pig's head (whic...
Really cute counting story, about all the pigs deciding they want potatoes. Cute illustrations, with details to talk about, love the pet cat. My only complaint is that Mamma is the one cooking, and Pappa is the one coming home from work, but the other pigs (including dad) help peel and clear their plates, so it's not too bad. Very little text, good for little ones.
I read this book 2-8 times a day to my son, Izze. It is a delightful tale of a sow and her swine family preparing for a meal consisting chiefly of potatoes. Exciting full-page illustrations make this one a winner with the 2YO crowd, and the 30YO crowd.
Pigs love potatoes so mama makes some for supper with the help of her family, and they keep getting more visitors who share in their meal.
This one was fitting for us tonight as my own son asked for baked potatoes for dinner, then little brother said he loved potatoes too and little sister was jumping around making a fuss. So, the book was a little bit of deja vu for us later in the evening.
I like potatoes espescially french fries. i like to help my mom cook too.
1. This book takes place in a house kitchen,where one pig wants a potato, which then turned into nine pigs wanting potatoes. This book counts the pigs up to ten. It also is easy to read with the way it rhymes. This book reminds me of another book, ten little monkeys jumping on the bed. They both use animals, a mother, counting, and rhyme. Looking back through the textbook it talked about the history of children's literature. This book is modern and is a fictional picture book. I liked the book b...
This is a simple, rhyming counting book about pigs that want potatoes. It might be a good primary grade read. Simple and enjoyable.
This book is a cute little book. It's about nine pigs wanting potatoes. The story starts with one little pig wanting a potatoe then another pig comes in and so the story goes until there are nine piggies that want potatoes.I think this is a good rhyming book that can help children learn to count by seeing the number of pigs and seeing the the letters that spell the number.
This story is full of words with the /p/ sound so it can be used for students who are working with this letter. It also counts to ten which would be good to use with students working on counting to ten.I would bring in potatoes and have the students count them. I would also have them write a paragraph about potatoes using as them "p" words as they could.
A few cute pigs get a hankering for some spuds. Luckily Mom is up to the task, though she expects a little help from her hungry piggies. There's not much more to the story than that, though it unspools in a delightful rhyme, and the gorgeous artwork by Christopher Denise is adorable.
Another favorite around our house; the kids always beg me to te-read it! :)
Countdown to Kindergarten: Letter P.Picks help Mama make potatoes. More pigs join for dinner as the story progresses. Lots of "p" words.
I really enjoyed this book. This is a book I would read to my future class. This book uses a clever number theme. The illistarations are perfect for the story and the concept is good. This would be a story I would read just for fun to fill three or four mins. This book would be good for younger children who are just learning to count. This is a good easy book for children.
I was gathering a collection for use outside of the library. There was on the cover the cutest little pig ever. Took a minute and read it. Okay, any pig in a tutu is just what I needed to end my day on a great note. :)
Mamma Pig needs a vacation.
10 pigs eat potatoes. If you are looking for a book with numbers and words that start with the letter p then you might want this book.
Denise, A.(2007).Pigs love potatoes. New York: Philomel Books.The book "Pigs Love Potatoes" by Anika Denise and illustrated by Christopher Denise, is a funny and very entertaining book about a family of pigs. well, these pigs like potatoes! the story starts with the little pig wanting momma pig to cook potatoes and each time something comes in another pig is added to the story line. It goes from the family of pigs wanting potatoes to the neighbors coming into eat the potatoes momma pig cooked. T...
Cute counting book featuring pigs and potatoes. The text is sweet (in a good way) and spot on with the rhyme. The illustrations make the pigs seem like a porcine-version of the Waltons complete with porch-settin' and neighbors visiting and a feast for ten around the table. Kids can count the pigs and the potatoes enjoy the gentle humor (a pig in a tutu, a pig painter). Downsides...the ending felt forced and the potatoes on the endpapers look more like rocks than potatoes. But more pluses than mi...
