About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is ready to move beyond basic counting and into the exciting world of patterns, skip counting, and logical prediction. It is a perfect choice for kids who enjoy slapstick humor and familiar nursery rhymes but are ready for a clever, slightly mischievous twist on the classics. This story follows twenty hungry pigs as they prepare for a feast, weaving in elements of The Three Little Pigs and The Great Big Enormous Turnip. While the book focuses on math skills like counting by fives and tens, it also explores themes of teamwork and creative problem solving. It is an ideal pick for preschoolers and early elementary students who find traditional math books dry and want a narrative that feels like a playful game.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book features a hungry wolf which introduces a element of mild peril, but the approach is entirely metaphorical and rooted in fairy tale tropes. There is no actual violence; the resolution is humorous and secular.
