The rhyming and alliteration are good, but the imagery is kind of offensive to larger women.

Mig the pig By Colin Hawkins and Jacqui Hawkins
Mig the Pig is a rhyming book with flip pages which change the onset of the words to create new words. I do like the story but do feel it is slightly dated and many children might struggle with the concept of a Gig which appears in the story. Still a great book for EFST and support for phonics work would read this also with Pat the Cat to a class who had just started to read.

I can't believe these are out of print! What a wonderful way to show new readers how changing one letter can change an entire word-- and the kids have fun flipping the pages. I can't believe publisher's haven't figured out what a hit this format is. The closest thing I can find is the Flip-a-Word series.

My kids love this book and I like how kids can participate in the reading in different ways no matter what reading level they are.
