Let’s Get Ready for a Countdown to an Educational Christmas! Book Recommendation #19
Fiona the Pig
Children and parents will adore the character of Fiona the Pig, whose personality is as charming as that of the beloved Eloise and Olivia. Zany illustrations add extra humor to the generation gap between parents and children in this engaging story of a precocious pig who loves to be neat, and her parents, who can’t understand why she doesn’t want to live like a messy pig. Leigh Hobbs’ illustrations perfectly capture Fiona’s girlish neatness, while conveying a sense that even in her very un-pig-like pursuits, she’s really a bit of a mess.
