Rating:  Summary: Great for all ages. Review: This book is great!!! I read it to my first grade class on Halloween and then we made a witches brew. They loved the pictures and the humor of the pigs. I have also read this to older children and they are able to appreciate the humor throughout the entire book. The way the illustrator incorporates other stories like Old MacDonald and the Wizard of Oz into the pictures.
Rating:  Summary: Fun and Hysterical Review: This book is so fabulous. It's very fun reading for parents (who'll get more of the jokes then the children). Which makes it reading enjoyment for everyone. Sense of humor required.
Rating:  Summary: A humorous story intertwined with amazing illustrations! Review: This book was one of the funniest children's books I have read in a long time. It takes humor that both children and adults can enjoy together. The illustrations are awesome! The author and illustrator's styles compliment each other brilliantly. I highly recommend it!
Rating:  Summary: Pigs Outsmart Gritch the Witch!! Review: What do you do when you want Piggie Pie for breakfast and you are out of piggies? If you are Gritch the Witch, you hop on your broomstick and head for Old MacDonald's farm, which is exactly what happens in the story Piggie Pie! by Margie Palatini. However, these piggies are too smart for Gritch and thwart her attempt to find them by donning costumes of other animals and pretending that there are "No piggies" at Old MacDonald's farm. Any child who hears this story will need to catch his breath from laughing so hard as Gritch the Witch becomes more frustrated and excited as each page turns. The laughter will reach a crescendo when Gritch meets Mr. Wolf and they each have their own plan for lunch. Librarians will have to arm wrestle each other to see who gets to be the one to read this story at a story time program. Each page is ripe with numerous opportunities to try out various voices of each of the animals. Howard Fine's illustrations are an integral part of the story because they clarify how the piggies fool Gritch. By the end of this delightfully funny story all who hear it will be rolling in the aisles!
