"Jillian, Jillian, Jillian Jiggs! It looks like your room has been lived in by pigs!" In the first of award-winning author and illustrator Phoebe Gilman's delicious Jillian Jiggs books, this absolutely irrepressible youngster tries again and again and again to set her mind to cleaning up her very messy room. She promises her mother that she'll clean up just as soon as she's through dressing up, but having fun keeps getting in the way. Whether Jillian and her friends are pretending to be pirates scouring the seven seas for treasure, monsters, witches, or fairies with dainty wings, there's always another game to be played or costume to be tried on. Gilman's bright watercolour illustrations perfectly capture the fun that Jillian and her friends have dressing up. Young readers are sure to be won over by Gilman's lively rhyming text and her equally playful pictures. And fans will want to check out The Wonderful Pigs of Jillian Jiggs, Jillian Jiggs to the Rescue, and Jillian Jiggs and the Secret Surprise. (Ages 3 to 6) --Jeffrey Canton

this is a great story, both to read out loud and to read alone. it's about a girl whose mother wants her to clean her room, but her friends come over and they end up playing instead. her mother tells her a few times to go clean her room and she seemingly goes to do it, but she takes her friends with her, as well as her baby sister, and they get distracted by their imaginations, so we get to see them pretending to be a bunch of different things. at the end though her mother puts her foot down and tells jillian to clean her room, so she tells her friends to come back when her room is neater.
the book rhymes, which is amazing for reading out loud, or for singular readings, the flow is nice. the illustrations are great too, the characters look like they're having fun. the way they're drawn conveys a lot of energy and excitement, and yet the drawings are simple... i guess they kind of remind me of children themselves, not a whole lot to them, but invest your time and you'll have more than your share of fun.
this whole series is great. i recommend.

I have read this book over and over to myself and to the children in my childcare centre. I can honestly say, of all the books I've read and heard, this one would be in my top 10 list along with the rest of the Jillian Joggs series. Gillman writes a magical story that inspires children to be creative and imaginative. The illustrations are colourful and thought provoking. The story is full of surprises, gets kids excited and keeps their interest the whole way through!
