I Love Pancakes With Sticky Syrup And This Book

Books Kids Will Love RATING: BBB
Book: If You Give A Pig A Pancake
By: Laura Numeroff
Illustrated by Felicia Bond
Recommended for ages 2-6
.

This is the sequel book to if If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. My daughter says this book is "funny." The illustrations are funny too. I like the one with the pig lying on his back licking the syrup off the plate while on top of the table. Close friends and family, would probably think my favorite part of the book is "taking pictures." This is an adorable cause and effect book. Children will learn that whatever they do will have a reaction. The book is a quick, read aloud book. The pacing make it a great bedtime read. It is a wonderful book for beginning readers, too. Excerpt: "If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it.You'll give her some of your favorite maple syrup. She'll probably get all sticky, so she'll want to take a bath." I recommend adding the paperback book to your family's home library - BBB.
