Product Description
Product Description
When a pig named Pig discovers a magic box able to make twenty-seven copies of anything you throw in it, his life is turned upside down with excitement! But as word spreads about his new toy, he finds it's not as easy as it seems to be in charge of endless possibilities... And perhaps he overreacts to all the attention. Just a smidge. "The Pig and the Box" is a modern fable that teaches kids and adults alike that sharing is always a good idea.

enjoyable on different levels,

This review is from: The Pig and the Box (Paperback)
This is a kids book, to be sure, but there's a message for adults within as well. My 6-year old enjoyed it for the story, and even got part of the message. Time will tell if he understood the deeper one. I enjoyed it for the laughs and the exposure of some of the world's stupidity. Will be looking for other titles by MCM.

Lovely read,
By Michael Le - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Pig and the Box (Paperback)
An extremely cute story. Bright, colorful characters and simple language make it an easy and enjoyable read for children - as others have pointed out, it teaches a valuable lesson about sharing. Seeded in the story are the ethics of sharing online, making it a desperately needed tale for framing the young minds that who be making decisions about the nature of the internet and whatever comes next.

Aesop's Blog,
By Andrew Castillo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Pig and the Box (Paperback)
This book is a modern day fable that puts together the whimsy of an entertaining story with a simple moral of sharing is good, as well as the more complex moral of the relationship between power and trust.The illustrations are vibrant, and the story is simple enough to read with my friend's 5 year old. Given that many fables are rehashes that have been told for hundreds of years, it was extremely refreshing to read an essentially brand new tale! |
