About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their child is taking the very first steps into reading and needs a huge confidence boost. This collection of four ultra-simple stories is designed for the absolute beginner, featuring a warm and loving relationship between a father pig and his child. The stories revolve around familiar, comforting activities: playing hide-and-seek, building blocks, pretending to be a train, and getting tucked into bed. The repetitive, predictable text and close picture-to-word correlation empower new readers to succeed. Beyond its function as a tool for literacy, the book beautifully models a gentle, present, and playful parent-child bond. It reinforces feelings of love, security, and the simple joy of spending time together. It's an ideal choice for a child aged 4 to 6 who is ready to feel the thrill of reading a whole book by themselves, all while being wrapped in the comfort of a sweet family story.

Ideal Reader
A 4- or 5-year-old who has just learned their letter sounds and a few sight words and is ready to read their very first book.
