Book of Pigericks

Rating:
Summary: A bit repetitive
Review: This book contains 38 limericks, all about pigs with human traits. Each limerick also has a nice illustration to go with it. However, I found this large number of pig limericks to be a bit overdone; it would have been nice if the book had contained limericks of many different types of animals, and not just pigs. I also found some of the limericks to be a bit difficult for a child to follow. But if your goal is to teach children the structure of how to write a limerick, then the repetition of the same theme, over and over, could enforce the pattern in their minds.
