Piglet and Granny

Reach for this book when your toddler or preschooler is struggling with the 'eternity' of waiting for a grandparent or a special guest to arrive. While children often experience anticipation as a source of frustration or repetitive questioning, Margaret Wild transforms that restless energy into a series of playful farmyard diversions. Through Piglet's antics, the story validates the intensity of a child's longing while modeling how to fill the time with activity and imagination. This gentle narrative is ideal for ages 2 to 5, providing a comforting structure that mimics the real-life rhythm of a long afternoon. It emphasizes the warmth of the grandparent-grandchild bond and uses humor to diffuse the tension of waiting. Parents will appreciate how it turns a common behavioral challenge into an opportunity for shared joy and eventual reward.
