The Princess and the Pig was kind of cute –I liked the “It happens that way in books” refrain throughout the story. Very cute, though the youngest of children may not get it if they haven’t been exposed to all of the traditional fairy tales. I was pretty troubled by the queen dropping her baby out the window and not realizing it – I mean, I know queens are dumb but that was pretty bad. Sheesh.
I wasn’t sure I’d like Do You Know Which Ones Will Grow but the illustrations and the foldouts really worked. I would add this one to Johnny Mac Pippins reading list. Definitely.
