Iggy Pig and Mother Pig are off to market - they need more supplies of bread and fruit. They miss out on a lift in the pony and cart, and by the time they arrive in town, Mother Pig is exhausted. Would Iggy be very kind and do the shopping while she has a rest? Of course he will! But hot on the heels of Iggy is a big grey animal with a hungry smile. Licking his lips, the wolf is certain that he's going to get a good dinner tonight. After all, Iggy is quite alone, none of his farmyard friends are anywhere in sight. But clever Iggy Pig knows what he's up to, and all the wolf will be getting to eat is a stall full of of apples and some hot crusty bread!

My First Read Alones

Iggy Pig
Iggy Pig is a set of delightful tales about a young pig and his farmyard friends. The books include lots of repetition within patterned texts which, along with matching illustrations, make the books very accessible to novice readers.

My First
Everyday experiences such as going to the doctor can be scary for the first time. With beautiful illustrations and easy-to-read text, My First...introduces children to commonplace situations in a light-hearted and informative way. The glossary explains new or difficult words, supporting children's understanding of the text. Checked by education consultant Shirley Bickler, these books are ideal for use at home and at school. It includes: colourful illustrations; easy-to-read text; glossary of unfamiliar words; and, notes for parents and teachers.

'These delightful tales about a young pig and his farmyard friends contain ample repetition within robustly patterned texts which, along with matching illustrations, prove very accessible to novice readers. Additionally, the allusion to what big grey animals tend to do to little pigs makes for compulsive stories which, in Margaret Meek's words, 'mean more than they say'. This is the way to learn to read - more please. * The School Librarian, July 1999 *
