I've received three of them - the Pig, Moose & Mouse. Sadly, I don't enjoy them either.
Again, I just don't enjoy reading these aloud but will introduce them again when my daughter is older in case they appeal to her. I've asked other parents about these books and have been told that when children are a little older they like the fact the message of consequence - the "and next, and next and next" of it.
They are not fun to read aloud and seem to send the message that no matter how much you give, the taker will demand more. If you give them syrup, they'll want ice cream, etc.
These books are so popular. In all fairness my daughter is 14 months old and may not be old enough to enjoy this series yet.
If you give them a pankage they'll want syrup to go with it.
:) I'd love to see a cartoon of this series. Seemed like a good book. ago picked up 'If you give a mouse a cookie' board book and my toddler loves it. My daughter likes pancakes. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the images.
Every child should read this book. It's enjoyable to read. I picked it up at the library. BUT oh my goodness, we find this hilarious. Easy to give silly voice inflection and your little one will quickly catch on and wait with anticipation for the next page. I never paid much attention to the 'If you give.' series, but mos.
Same goes with this book. My kid's just giggle non stop.
The wife's grandaughter had refused to let this be taken back to the library.It had to go back so I brought this to replace it. Nana is still reading it to her.Who am I to argue with that.
The pig asks for syrup, then gets all sticky and wants to take a bath, and the fun ensues as each request leads to another. Another in the wonderful series by Numeroff and Bond, this one features a young girl who gives a pig one of her pancakes. All young children I have read this book to have responded with delighted laughter -- the humor is perfect, and the scenarios are just close enough to their own experience to let them enjoy the fantasy without being confused by it.
If You Give A Pig A PancakeBy Laura NumeroffIllustrated by Felicia Bond"If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it."One thing leads to another in this silly children's picture book. When the pig gets through with your house, you will think you'd been visited by the "Cat in the Hat."Then the pig will want another pancake and more syrup.Jill Ammon VanderwoodThrough the RugThrough The Rug: Follow That Dog (Through the Rug)
