The story’s writing also flows very smoothly, which makes it easier to read.

I believe that young children will adore this story because of the author’s word choices throughout the book are very funny. Trust me, I’ve been chasing three little pigs for days.” The witch and the wolf walk away to go eat lunch together, but in their minds, they both imagine eating each other for lunch. The wolf tells the witch, “They’re too tricky. A wolf comes along and tells her to forget about catching the pigs.

The pigs are very clever and disguise themselves as different animals on the farm, and the witch becomes very frustrated when she cannot find any pigs. The story begins with a witch named Gritch who wants to make “piggie pie.” This unique recipe calls for “one eye of a fly, two shakes of a rattlesnake’s rattle, three belly hairs of a possum, and eight plump piggies.” She realizes she needs pigs as a result, she decides to take a trip to the farm. In my opinion, I think “Piggie Pie” is a superb book for children to read.

I am also ordering the 3rd book in the series - Broom Mates - hoping it will be just as delightful. I am ordering some used copies, because my personal library will never be complete with out them. She said - ".and you have to read it with the different voices!" As I was reading it, I suddenly heard my then 21 year old son running down the stairs, excited - jumped on the couch next us, and listened intently, as I read - with a smile on his face. Suddenly she ran upstairs to her old room, and ran back down with Piggie Pie. I was caught off guard - but after reading a few stories from Hans Christian Anderson, she didn't seem satisfied. One day, my then 18 year old daughter, asked me to read to her. This was also my two kids' favorite books to have read allowed, even as young adults. Over the years, Piggie Pie lost a page or two, and Zoom Broom just disappeared, however, I pretty much had memorized Piggie Pie. I purchased this and the sequel, Zoom Broom, many years ago - late 90's. This is one of my all time favorite children's books.
